## Turn your weather maps into accurate, realistic experiences for compelling, hyperlocal coverage

Local TV viewers expect quality from Earth weather maps—more than 70% of weather hits typically include maps. MAXimum Earth includes expanded high-resolution terrain maps and rendering to cover virtually every market, big and small, creating dynamic map views from cities and streets to rivers and ponds and beyond. Take advantage of detailed topography to tell traffic stories or highlight local news and sports events in high-resolution weather maps.

## Captivate your audience

Stand out by improving the overall quality of your weather map presentation. MAXimum Earth applies new cloud-based material and 3D rendering techniques to create more detailed and engaging 3D earth maps.

## Benefits

### Differentiate your on-air look

Use MAXimum Earth to add visually stunning, realistic 3D map graphics for cityscapes or dynamic water terrain down to .5 meters, where available.

### Enhance presentation value

With better handling of height data visuals, tap into increased realism, including sun positioning, dynamic shadowing, and atmospheric conditions.

### Remain up-to-date

Updated maps become automatically available to you when we receive them from our partner, Mapbox. No more having to update maps every four to six years.

## Key features

### Best-in-class maps

Blended maps, map cutouts, and a full suite of customization tools for your station map are available — you can even generate presentations in eye-popping 4K.

### High-resolution insets

Dynamic shadowing and contours accurately reflect mountain ranges, crevices, and realistic water in lakes, rivers, and ponds.
