GlobeViewer is a high resolution 3D terrestrial globe with topography and surface maps. This app enables a high-quality view of the surface of our blue planet. It is divided into two areas: the rotatable, global view as an interactive globe and a high-resolution 3D map representation of the Earth's topography. - Interactive 3D globe with surface, underwater and topography maps - High-resolution 3D topography map set of the entire Earth's surface - divided into 22,912 individual tiles. You can load 110 different regions onto the interactive globe, which then present the many individual tiles in a meaningful, connected way and reload them automatically. The app initially only contains the textures for the globe in low resolution. All required downloads are automatically loaded from our server. A total of around 105 GB of data is available. The data remains in the cache on your device for offline use, but can be deleted at any time in the main menu. Furthermore, all events recorded by the GDACS, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, etc., are entered on the globe. The 3D topography map is based on the elevation data from the NASA Terra probe, which recorded 83° of the northern and southern hemispheres between 2000 and 2013 - this is the result of the ASTER3-DEM. With version 0.10.0, the map is enriched with around 7.5 million place names from geonames.org. This means that all the towns, mountains, lakes, deserts and many other geographical features entered there are shown on the map. From version 0.12.0, data from OpenStreetMaps (buildings, borders, streets...) is also available on the tiles - but only for the demos and the purchased maps. Use the tutorial in the app to get started quickly or read the manual to find out which functions are included in this app. Since the app is still under development, some functions may still change. We hope you enjoy using GlobeViewer!

This is not a standard scientific calculator, it is optimized to evaluate Bode plots and Nyquist diagrams. This calculator is also fully compatible with the complex domain and standard graphs in time domain (linear). Writing a calculation produces the numeric result, as any calculator, while adding the variable t produces a plot in time domain. Inserting f, omega or s instead, produces the Bode Plot, then it is possible to switch to the Nyquist diagram. Functionalities: - Nice looking interface, intuitive, immediate and able to not only replace, but to enrich hardware calculators. - Elegant and modern themes and colors to choose from, all included in the first purchase. - A little magic feature: in scientific notation, swipe over the result to move the decimal dot and see the ten power change :) - All scientific function (sin, cos, tan, ..., log, ln, exp, ..., atan2). - Calculation structured in 2D, with fractions, powers, roots, brackets and so on, with very easy to nest operations, no limits! - Tap on the calculation to place the cursor and write. - Undo/Redo buttons - A catalog with 40 physics fundamentals constants, with name and unit of measure, ready to be inserted. - Possibility to store values. - Chronology. - Sliders: yes, you can insert many parameters and change them swiping on a slider to see the effect in real time. - Spaces: access to up to 4 spaces on which you can edit and keep calculations, useful also to superpose different plots. - Joystick mode: swipe over the buttons to move the cursor (still in beta). - Bode Plots: inserting a variable, s, omega or f, produces the Bode Plot, toggling on the button it switches to the Nyquist diagram. - Linear Plots: inserting the t variable, produces a plot in a linear domain. - Complex numbers: the app automatically uses complex numbers when needed, no need to set the complex mode. - Plots also support for complex values. - Integrals and derivatives (in the future also limits). - Export plot and calculation as image/PDF, copy result as text
