-= Topographer =-
Topographer is a major application for the Geography curriculum which allows
children (and teachers) to have lots of fun whilst learning all about maps,
contour lines, valleys, rivers etc. In fact Topographer covers virtually all
items found on Ordnance Survey maps.
The real breakthrough with Topographer is its 3D section which allows you to
convert a 2D map into a 3D model on screen. Imagine turning a set of flat
contour lines on a 2D map into a 3D model which clearly shows the hill - no
more cardboard cutout models or papierá mache ! You define where you look
from, what you look at.
Topographer also covers aspects of the IT and maths curriculum with its
modelling capabilities. Just stop for a minute and think of the projects
that the children could do with Topographer. You could make a map of the
local area with churches, pubs, woods, hills etc and then view it from
various places. If there is a new bypass proposed you could add it in to the
existing landscape and see where it is visible from and what impact it is
likely to have on the community. I'm sure you can think of a hundred and one
topics.
* Multi tasking, any mode and RISC OS 2 and 3 Compliant
* Easy and quick entry of all symbols (over 100) onto 2D map
* Easy entry and editing of contour lines using specialised routines
* Definable widths for roads and rivers
* Wooded areas which translate into impressive 3D landscapes
* 2D Map can be saved as Draw file and printed if required
* Definable map size and scale which can be linked to the national grid references
* Zoom option which is independent of the scale
* Powerful 3D mode giving a true representation of the landscape
* Definable viewing coordinates, height and angle (numerically or graphically)
* Stunning 3D models which can be saved as a sprite file for use in other applications
