10 Basic Uses of the Global Map data "I downloaded the Global Map data, but I don't know how to use them" or "What other uses can I enjoy with the Global Map?"- We will introduce 10 Basic Uses so that you can enjoy the Global Map!
1. Zoom in out

Zoom in
By zooming in the Map, you can see the areas in detail.
Zoom out
By zooming out, you can see an overall view or a rough state of the area.

2. Turn layers of the geographical data On / Off
There are eight types of geographical data on the Global Map. Let 's select combinations of types of geographical data (layers) indicated by the GIS software application. You may get a novel idea.

3. Compare different areas
By comparing the maps between different areas for the same condition, you can find different or common points in those areas.
4. Compare chronological order

By comparing the data between different years for the same condition, you can see the changes in the state with the passage of time. Let 's think about how to solve the problems of the earth, including environmental ones.
The data on the Global Map will be updated at approximately five-year intervals to the extent possible.

5. Overlay geographical data other than that of the Global Map

You can overlay other maps on the Global Map.

6. Use the Global Map as a relief map
By reading the Global Map into the software applications making the Global Map a relief map, you can use it as a 3D map.

FThis application is useful for determining the route for climbing or traveling hilly areas.

7. Attach comments, visual images, and statistical data on the Map

You can make layers of your own to attach comments, pictures and statistical data. It would be easier and interesting to paste them on the printed map.
