In just a few seconds, users can generate maps that contain and simplify the complex variability in the topography and relief data of a given area. GeoPard is continuing its mission to make such resources more accessible, and users do not need a powerful computer or specialized skills to produce and analyze these novel maps. To create a 3D map select the field from the list, click the **Create a Map** top menu and select **Create a 3D Map** option.
1. So select the data type to start with. The 3D mapping tool can be used with any base layer, including LIDAR topography, slopes, soil agrochemical properties, data from yield/as-applied/as-planted datasets, ground scanners, and even vegetation indices. Click **Next**.
2. Then select a data source. Click **Next**.
3. In the next step, any cover map like zones from yield, historical vegetation, organic matter, electrical conductivity, or pH distribution can be utilized on top of the base layer. Click **Next**.
After loading time you can see the map. It is important to say, that it is a live 3d model that works **directly in the browser** without any 3rd party programs or extensions installation. You can rotate, zoom in and zoom out, and change cover maps to understand fields better.
--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.geopard.tech/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/3d-maps.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
