Introducing: Transect Vision

Find the ideal site for your next project with Transect Vision.

Here's How it Works

1 Explore

Intuitive customizable interface

Vision is user-friendly and immersive. Select the layers relevant to you, arrange them as you like, and even adjust the opacity of any layer to see the full context of your current or prospective project site.

2 Gain Insight

View your project in a new light.

A variety of maps typically requiring commercial licenses or proprietary software are available to you with your Transect subscription. Slope, aspect, contour, and several other map layers allow you to gain a broader view of how your project may (or may not) be ideally located.

3 Create

Define an area or path

Using the polygon or line tool in Vision, delineate ideal project locations, boundaries or areas of interest. Export them to KML/KMZ format to create a Transect Report or in an external application. There is no limit to either your use of Vision or number of exports.

Transect Vision is included with all Transect subscriptions at no additional charge.
