11.12.1   General

 

Land offers a three dimensional visualization mode that can be fully customized in order to have the most adequate perspective in each moment:

 

     3D quality: Customize the depth of the 3D quality from a list of different degrees.

 

 

     Maximum tiles to show: Set the maximum number of map tiles to display (the higher number of tiles displayed, the slower will load).

 

 

     Altitude exaggeration: Multiplies the altitude of the relief to make a clearer effect in 3D.

 

 

     Rendering mode: When using 3D view, display the rendering of maps according to your needs.

 

 

     Shading: Relief will be displayed in a clearer and attractive way, as it features shadow simulations enhancing thus the variations of the ground.

 

 

     Field of vision: Determines the angle from which the map will be seen. When introducing angles over 60º, it will simulate a camera with wide lenses.

 

 

     Foggy horizon: The furthest part to the perspective becomes faded, creating a misty effect between the sky and the map that helps to distinguish them more clearly.

 

 

     Search for a relief when starting 3D view: When 3D view is enabled, Land will automatically open a relief map.

 

 

     Sea level: Fix the current value of the sea level to represent situations where the height is under the sea level.
