Empowering a new fast & efficient workflow in map development
QuickMapViewer enables authors to focus more on the creative part of map making, and less on the technical inconveniences.
QuickMapViewer provides support for previewing map scenery in real time while editing. Just press Ctrl+S in the editor, and the changes will be immediately shown. What's better, it all happens in less than half a second.
With less time spent in waiting, map development will be greatly sped up, by replacing some of the tedious math with simple trial-and-error.
