R&S®MapView Basic Module of R&S®MapView Geographic Information Software

• Use in direction finding and radiolocation systems as well as in coverage measurement systems
• Fast online display of results on digitized maps
• Offline display of results in combination with external databases
• Integrated layers for graphical situation display
• Use of digital maps in various formats
• Generation of user-specific maps

The software is used to display geographic data on digital vector and raster maps. R&S^®MapView is primarily designed for radiomonitoring and radiolocation applications. The software presents online results in a fast, optimized manner.

Displaying direction finding and radiolocation results on maps is essential for the interception of radio signals and also for direction finding evaluations in radiomonitoring systems. Examples are the transmitter-site display to support DF evaluation or a cartographic display to support operational and tactical analysis. The map display in conjunction with running fixes is especially useful during mobile operations and allows the fast location of the tracked target (homing). Further applications include the display of status information for all the stations in a radiomonitoring system, the visualization of database information and the display of results in coverage measurement systems.
