Map viewing lets you explore cities around the world and see the shape of mountains and valleys in Japan. Use it in a desktop or mobile browser.
Add Map viewing
- An organization owner or administrator opens the service catalog using “Add a service” in the sidebar.

- Open “Maps” in the sidebar. The map starts in Hiroshima.
Change the place and display
Drag the map to move around. Use the “+” and “−” controls to zoom. The “Hiroshima”, “Mount Fuji”, “Japan” and “World” buttons take you to those views.
| Display | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Flat | The world map |
| Hillshade | Shading based on elevation data in Japan |
| 3D terrain | A tilted, three-dimensional view of terrain in Japan |
Terrain and elevation data cover Japan. To compare views, go to Mount Fuji and switch between Hillshade and 3D terrain.
