Gmaps Extended

Gmaps Extended is a reliable program dedicated to bringing detailed maps of Earth, Mars and the Moon for you to explore. The application is designed to connect you to the Google Maps service without needing you to open the Internet browser.

Gmaps Extended allows you to explore three major maps of different celestial bodies: the planets Earth, Mars and the Moon. Various options are available for each map, based on the specifics of each environment.

The Earth map allows you to zoom in or out from street view, up to displaying all the continents in one frame. You may easily switch from street maps to satellite view, as well as explore the maps by viewing real pictures or photo spheres. Moreover, you may use the mouse dragging movement in order to pan over to places you wish to view.

Gmaps Extended allows you to explore the surface of the planet Mars, by viewing three types of maps: altitude-based coloration, real photo view and infrared pictures. The elevation scale indicates differences of height, from mountains to ridges. You may zoom in/out and pan over the map, similarly to the Google Maps service from the browser.

The program features several searching options, which allow you to filter the map by regions, spacecraft landings, stories and physical attributes: mountains, canyons, plains, ridges and craters. The Moon map offers several topographical representations of its surface, based on various studies: J. Herschel or Monte Apenninus, for example. The Apollo missions are also marked on the map.

Gmaps Extended allows you to find streets and calculate routes in any country on Earth, as well as view surface maps of Mars and the Moon, without opening your browser. The program brings the available information and graphic representations to your desktop. Moreover, you may work with filters for locating various geologic or topographic objectives.
