Once you open the data menu you will be able to add our 'Global LiDAR Availability' layer which will show you where we have high-quality LiDAR available.
So I went to the website they no longer have the TOPOGRAPHY tab do I have to upgrade to premium version for that?

Hi Kazer, We recently updated the user interface to make it easier to use. LiDAR data is only available in the US, parts of Canada, and New Zealand. You can test it out, to see if it covers your area. This video should help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4ekpdKwg7PIoJs.html
Hello Equator. This is what I was looking for. I am an architect and I want to create something similar for a real estate development in India. I wanted to ask some specifications for LIDAR data (data type custom collected) I had some technical questions. Can I get in touch with someone ?

Hi, nice video. Is it possible to visualize underwater Lidar data as well?

Yes, you can visualize underwater using LiDAR data. It is called Bathymetric LiDAR. However, at this time, Equator does not host any bathymetric data.

March 2022 this is not what the website looks like nor is it how it performs... I have a 1 Gig download speed and just moving around in the basic map once the site is open is near impossible....

Hi Brad, sorry to hear you're having trouble. Download speeds shouldn't affect performance, though Equator can sometimes put a strain on your graphics card. One of the tricks we've found work is to turn on hardware acceleration in Chrome, you can follow the steps here: www.howtogeek.com/412738/how-to-turn-hardware-acceleration-on-and-off-in-chrome/ It's been a busy year for us, and we've improved much of our UI and features, so look forward for some new videos coming soon!
This data is available only for h North America only.. Not for all part of world.
