Taking map display to a higher levelDigital Elevation Model
Users of digital map applications are demanding more realistic display qualities. With the Digital Elevation Model, TomTom maps offer a better approach to enhancing visual accuracy. By integrating this enhanced content with standard maps, it is possible to represent the landscape’s altitude in devices or applications covering Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.
The main advantage is that maps look much more attractive and are closer to reality, with a layout comparable to that of cartographic atlas maps. The model can be used in both a 2D representation, as well as a 3D visualization of maps, allowing for the draping of the road networks and even satellite imagery over them.
The Digital Elevation Model has been developed to enhance the display of small and medium scale maps.
Product Features and Benefits
End User benefits• Better orientation
Maps are closer to reality, allowing for better visual orientation
• More appealing display Maps are visually much more attractive. By indicating heights, the maps will no longer be flat representa-tions of the road network
Application
TomTom suggests using its Digital Elevation Model on a 1:100.000 - 1:50.000 scale, or smaller. It is not designed for large scale purposes, i.e. the requirements that fall under Advanced Driver Assistance, such as intelligent drive train control based upon slope information.
FEATURES BENEFITS
• Extensive coverage • Provides more data than most other competitors in the market
• Available in different resolutions • Allows flexibility to enhance small to medium scale maps in ap-plications
• 2D or 3D visualization • Enables highly accurate draping of road networks or satellite im-agery over maps
• Seamless global coverage • Simplifies development by merging elevation data across country borders
