Overview

Bring your Hydrospatial initiatives to new depths with TCarta's Marine Global Basemap! 

This marine basemap is crafted from our multi-sourced global bathymetry product, which is a seamless digital elevation model (DEM) comprising of our in-house multi-sensor Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB), digitized nautical charts, sonar bathymetry, LiDAR, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (iFSAR). This foundational basemap provides an enhanced geospatial experience and provides valuable hydrospatial context of our marine environments.

Seamlessly integrating into ESRI Geographic Information Systems (GIS) platforms like ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online, it empowers users to layer additional thematic data for comprehensive insights and visualizations. The easy-to-use Tile package (.tpkx) includes a Marine Basemap layered with Information about underwater topography, including soundings, contours, a vivid color ramp visualizing depths, and detailed dynamic labeling of the water bodies and geologic features.
