TOPO! Pro for ArcGIS
National Geographic TOPO! Pro for ArcGIS:
TOPO! Pro for ArcGIS is a software extension that adds functionality to ESRI ArcGIS products. The Multi-layer functionality allows ESRI GIS users to quickly, efficiently, and reliably import USGS topographic maps, hillshading, or digital elevation models (DEMs) into existing projects. One step adds crisp, presentation-quality raster images into seamless map layers. Edge-matching maps, file appending, raster reprojecting and map collar removal are no longer necessary. Image Support allows for the USGS topographic maps to be imported into an ArcGIS project.
Import TOPO! Base Maps, Hillshade, and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) into Your ArcGIS Project.
Two extensions are included in the National Geographic TOPO! Pro for ArcGIS – TOPO! Image Support and TOPO! for ArcGIS Multi-layer Edition. These extensions provide the user with all the tools need to bring the highest quality topographic maps and layers into any ArcGIS project.
TOPO! Pro for ArcGIS Multi-layer and Image Support Extensions.
TOPO! Pro for ArcGIS is National Geographic's premier solution for fast and easy integration of high-quality topographic maps, hillshades, and DEMs into an ArcGIS project. With functionality added directly to the ArcGIS toolbar, repetitive tasks associated with importing and managing multiple raster data files become a thing of the past. And all TOPO! data layers are stored un-projected and referenced to Geographic NAD83, enabling ArcGIS to display them in any map projection of choice.

The features for both Multi-layer Edition and Image Support include:

  • Ability to quickly import seamless topographic maps across multiple USGS quads to any project
  • Toggle on/off beautifully enhanced shaded relief generated from NED elevation data
  • Support for a broad range of projections
  • Small file size
  • Photo-quality, high resolution graphics.
Additional Features of TOPO! Pro for ArcGIS for the ArcGIS Multi-layer Edition:

Key additional features for the ArcGIS Multi-layer Edition include:

  • ESRI integration: This is the only topographic map solution integrated with ArcGIS as an extension.
  • Import topographic maps, hillshade, and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) into a project as separate layers. Each layer can be toggled on and off separately so the exact image can be generated for the project.
  • Very simple to use: With a few clicks to define the area, data is extracted automatically from TOPO! State Series CD-ROMs.
  • Transparency, color ramps, and visible scale ranges can be adjusted separately.
  • Easily combine any of the three layers to create the exact map needed.
  • ArcPad compatible – harness the power of TOPO! in mobile GIS and field mapping. Export topographic maps, hillshading, and DEMs directly from ArcMap into ArcPad.
