Maps that travel

Share a map across editions without giving too much away.

Sealed details

Open an HTAS map in ASCA or Landscape and the details that edition doesn't use stay in the file, locked with your organisation's sharing password. They're saved back untouched and unlocked again in HTAS.

Export for another edition

Writes a copy with those details removed entirely. It's the safe way to hand a map to an outside organisation.

One licence

Every edition runs on Windows 10 or 11 with no administrator rights, works offline, and installs signed updates from Altus.
