LIDAR & Hillshade Maps in TopoRec – Map Viewer

What is LIDAR – and why is it so fascinating?

LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a technology that uses lasers to measure the earth’s surface. The result is an accurate digital elevation model that reveals details even under dense vegetation. This is a real milestone for archaeological research, historical landscape analysis and local history.

With TopoRec, you can easily use this LIDAR data in the form of shaded relief maps on the go – without complicated software or data processing.

Hillshade maps: experience the terrain in 3D

Hillshade maps use artificial light and shadow effects to create a three-dimensional representation of the terrain. This makes even the smallest differences in elevation clearly visible. Old field terraces, ring walls, Celtic burial grounds or medieval sunken paths – TopoRec lets you see them at a glance.
