Global Terrain Intelligence

Powered by NEXTMap^®, Intermap's global platform for authoritative 3D data, terrain intelligence and geospatial analytics

The Foundation of Geospatial Intelligence

Every geospatial intelligence solution begins with trusted data.

NEXTMap^®provides on-demand access to Intermap's proprietary 3D data, terrain intelligence and geospatial analytics through cloud-based delivery, enterprise applications and APIs. Built to support operational workflows, NEXTMap^® enables organizations to access, analyze and integrate authoritative geospatial intelligence without the complexity of managing large datasets or infrastructure.

Produced through advanced processing techniques and AI-powered automation, NEXTMap^® delivers one of the world's most comprehensive and consistent 3D data foundations, available globally at resolutions up to 1 meter.

With one of the world's largest proprietary archives of 3D terrain data spanning more than 300 million square kilometers, Intermap can rapidly deliver authoritative geospatial intelligence without waiting for new collection wherever existing data satisfies mission requirements.

Real-World Impact

Intermap's NEXTMap^® data supports critical projects around the world, from natural hazard analysis and infrastructure planning to environmental conservation and scientific research.

A recent collaboration with The Snow Leopard Trust used NEXTMap^® elevation data and terrain analytics to better understand snow leopard movement patterns in Mongolia. By providing a significantly more accurate representation of rugged terrain, NEXTMap^® helped researchers uncover insights that were not visible using lower-resolution datasets.

Elevation Queries
Access elevation and terrain information for specific locations and areas of interest.

Terrain Profiles
Generate point-to-point terrain profiles and elevation analysis.

Viewshed Analysis
Understand visibility, line-of-sight and terrain obstruction conditions across operational environments.

Custom Analytics
Deploy custom terrain and geospatial analysis workflows tailored to specific mission and business requirements.
