How encryption works

Know the country before you climb it.

Tilt and orbit 3D terrain. Read the country as you’d glass it from the far ridge.

LiDAR bare earth, canopy removed, 1 m
  1. 3D terrain

    Tilt and orbit real elevation. See how a basin drains, where the benches sit and which face holds snow.

  2. LiDAR bare earth

    About 1 m resolution with the timber stripped away, where survey data exists. Benches, saddles, funnels, wallows and old roads show up plainly.

  3. Layers

    30 cm imagery, 20 ft contours, slope-angle shading, snow, public land and parcel boundaries.

  4. Routes and offline

    Plan a route with its elevation profile, save the region, and keep the whole map with no signal.

Everything on the map

Satellite imagery, brought into focus

See the land more clearly.

Less blur. Richer texture. Massif brings clarity to satellite imagery, for a more vivid view of the country you’re heading into.
