    We are constantly making improvements to our user interface. If the UI in this video doesn't match the current UI of the Equator platform, watch our latest video on extracting data from Equator's newest interface: czcams.com/video/Ogy6F-Fczac/video.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 Rajesh! We would be happy to help. Can you send an email to contact@equatorstudios.com with your questions? We do not currently offer lidar coverage in India, but we can see if there is a way we might be able to help! Looking forward to your email.

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

    • @equatorstudios
      @equatorstudios  Před 2 měsíci

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

      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.

      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: czcams.com/video/USpCpwSPbp8/video.html

    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....

    • @equatorstudios
      @equatorstudios  Před 2 lety

      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!
