 Solar Model |
| The Solar Model is realtime modeling of solar system. It allows user to navigate in space, to control time counting (speed-up time flow) and estimate real movement of space bodies like planets, dwarf planets and moons. Application provides different possible views: Solar System view, Milky Way galaxy view or Measurer view where you can estimate real space distances and planet sizes. |

| EarthPaint |
 255 kB |
 2000/XP |
| EarthPaint is a painting and drawing tool for Google Earth. EarthPaint allows the user to create freehand drawings and publish them as Google Earth ground overlays. EarthPaint synchronizes its view with that of Google Earth, and displays a referenced grayscale base map to aid in drawing. Drawing is accomplished using a variety of tools such as a freehand pencil, ellipse, rectangle, polygon, and text tool. When a drawing is complete, a single button publishes it as a transparent overlay to Google Earth. | ||
| EarthPlot |
896 kB |
2000/XP |
| EarthPlot is a data analysis and visualization tool for Google Earth. EarthPlot processes geographic based data to generate a variety of maps within Google Earth. Data can be imported from several ASCII data formats, in addition to being copied directly from a Microsoft Excel worksheet. EarthPlot is also capable of downloading topographic maps and aerial photographs from Microsoft's TerraServer to supplement Google Earth's imagery. EarthPlot is compatible with all versions of Google Earth - including the free version. | ||
| MicroDEM |
40 MB |

| MicroDEM is a microcomputer mapping program written by Professor Peter Guth of the Naval Academy. The program requires a 32 bit version of Windows such as XP and will run on 64 bit Windows in 32 bit mode. MicroDEM is a program that works with digital elevation models (DEMs), plots of elevation as a function of position, the same kind of data used by 3DEM. But MicroDEM contains far more features and capabilities than 3DEM, and includes other non-DEM related features as well. Most free GIS programs have a measuring tool that lets you determine the distance between two or more points. But this distance is usually a flat, straight-line distance, and doesnt take into account the additional distance you would travel if the terrain werent flat. If the terrain is steep or hilly, your 3D distance traveled is longer than that flat, straight-line distance. MicroDEM has the capability to determine both the straight-line distance and distance over terrain for an arbitrary path. |

| MapCreator |
29.6 MB |
all |
| Using the MapCreator software you can - easily and without cartographic knowledge - create physical maps of a very high quality. Physical maps emphasize the natural features of the earth's surface (mountains and valleys, vegetation, water...). The very great amount of geo-data necessary for this has been integrated in the software. Convince yourself of the qualities of MapCreator by looking at some maps. The main application area of MapCreator is for creating maps for travel films and travel lectures. Creating maps with MapCreator is really easy, the user interface has a completely graphic representation offering numerous possibilities for creating maps: - The map extract can be freely adjusted. For a particularly fast setting of the map extract, ca. 100 pre-defined map extracts have been supplied additionally. - For representing land and sea, a ca. 2.3 GB data base for terrain heights, sea depths, vegetation and satellite photos is available. Land and sea can be represented in relief. The distinctness of the relief is adjustable. - Inland waters can be represented in very high quality. The edges of the water are drawn softly, the width of the river increases with its course. The quantity of water drawn can be adjusted. - In addition, borders, towns and a grid can be drawn on the map. - Any symbols required can be drawn on the map. - The maps created can be stored in the picture formats BMP, JPG, TIFF, PNG, TGA, PBM, PGM and PPM and can be further processed using all normal graphics software. |

| The Q++ Sun, Moon and Planets Calculator |
3.3 MB |
all |
| Calculates and displays, for any location on the Earth (sample database of over 2500 cities is included), the rising and setting times of the Sun, Moon and other
8 planets, as well as the time of dawn, dusk and solar transit, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, conjunctions, oppositions, Moon phases, Mercury and Venus transits (such as the
recent one of June 8, 2004), occultation of any planet by the Moon, Sun entering each Zodiac sign and Moon entering each Zodiac sign. Uses high-precision numerical simulation data from the NASA JPL-Laboratory. |

| GIS ObjectLand |
23836 kB |
all |
| GIS ObjectLand is a universal Geographic Information System for Windows. Key features: - creation of vector-raster maps with arbitrary structure of layers and feature types; - creation of themes. Theme is a user presentation of a map; - control of displaying features depending on the chosen scale; - spatial data input and editing by assigning feature coordinates and also by interactive drawing with mouse or digitizer; - sewing of separate pages of an imported map into one unified continuous map; - copying, merging, and moving maps, layers, and feature types between different geoinformation databases; - creation of tables of arbitrary structure; - creation of queries. Query is a user presentation of table built by setting search and sorting conditions, joining tables, calculations and using reference tables; - copying, merging, and moving tables and queries between different geoinformation databases; - setting arbitrary links between spatial and table information; - getting information about the feature selected on the map; - searching for features on the map by linked records; - creation of filters. Filter is conditions of feature visualization depending on spatial properties of features and linked table data; - creation of layouts. Layout is an output form combining spatial, table information and presentation elements; - import and export of table and spatial information for widespread data formats; - support of style libraries containing fonts, map symbols, line styles, hatches and fill styles; - style editors for displaying styles; - setting for users the access permissions to components; - multiuser data editing; - using and editing tables of external database (via ODBC) as linked tables; - providing automation COM interfaces for user applications. Free noncommercial version is available for download. Educational institutions can use noncommercial version of GIS ObjectLand in studies free of charge. |

| Virtual Moon Atlas |
3-13.6 MB |
NT4/Me/XP/2000 |
| This software, realized by Patrick Chevalley and Christian Legrand can visualize the Moon aspect for every date and hour. It permits also to study lunar formations with unique database and pictures library. It's conceived to be easily usable 'in the field' according to an observing session needs, but also to study 'at home' the Moon and its relief. Picture library, database and ephemeris calculations allows you to find any information about Moon: phase, librations, rise, set, culmination, information about all known formations etc. The authors make the program free for amateur astronomers, lunar observers and students who wish to practice selenography. They hope to promote Moon observation and knowledge because it will become one of the next human spatial exploration step. The program itself doesn't contain any pictures - you'll need to download them separately. |
