A sample animation
Travel from Berlin to San Francisco. Vasco da Gama 9 uses its comprehensive portfolio of high-resolution auxiliary products to add nuances such as historic buildings, vehicles or map materials. Start from your home and digitally trace your route to the airport. Did you pass by the Brandenburg Gate during your ride to the airport? Then add this object to your animation easily with the GPS referencing feature. All you need to do is click on the Brandenburg Gate when selecting sights to display. Vasco da Gama takes care of the rest and places the structure in its actual location in your animation.
