Interactive map
Otterburn Training Area (Northumberland) has an elevation range of roughly 200 to 620 metres. A 3D flyover gives you a feel for the relief before the exercise: where are the ridges that offer visibility, which hollows give cover, and how do the axes of advance run through the terrain?
In MilMap you switch the map to a 3D terrain view and fly along your route to assess sightlines and slopes. Combined with the terrain and elevation layer, you see at a glance how the landscape shapes your plan — far more useful than a flat map alone.
