About this layer
Dynamic LiDAR™ draws LiDAR over the map on the phone as you move, in any of Terrain+™'s relief renderings (hillshade, slope, local relief, sky view and openness, multi-scale relief, VAT and red relief), Multi-Light PCA or the SVF/LRM Composite. Change a rendering's settings with the LiDAR button or in Active Layers and the map redraws straight away. It shows the ground surface the LiDAR measured, not what lies beneath it. Dynamic LiDAR is saved with your offline areas, every look included.
What it is for
Open its filter in Active Layers and choose a rendering from the pictures, drawn from the ground in the middle of the view. Move a setting and the map redraws: a lower sun for faint banks, a radius about the width of the features you are after.
Limits
It shows the ground surface the lidar measured, not what lies beneath it. It needs a connection, and new ground takes a moment to draw.
What changes by nation.
The survey data behind this layer differs from place to place. Each write-up below applies to the places beside it.
