KADAS Albireo is a mapping application based on QGIS and targeted at non-specialized users, providing enhanced functionalities in areas such as drawing, measuring, terrain analysis, etc.

• Streamlined user interface
• Redlining functionality for adding geometries, pins, georeferenced pictures and other symbols
• Measurement tools, incl. geodetic measurements.
• Terrain analysis: slope, hillshade, viewshed, line of sight
• Numeric inputs for all drawing operations
• Integrated GPS geolocation support and GPX waypoint and route editor
• Multiple map views
• 3D globe view
• Advanced map grids, including UTM/MGRS and guide grids
• Tightly integrated search functionality
• Integrated geodata catalog
• Online-/Offline detection with online-/offline project templates
• User friendly printing
• KML and GPKG data export and import
• Support for the MSS-MilX Military-Symbols library from gs-soft

• User manual
• Technical manual

• From the releases page.

• Download and extract the latest kadas-portable-win64.zip portable build from the releases page.
• Run ..\kadas\bin\kadas.exe.
• Read the technical manual to learn how to configure the application.
• Note: To be able to use the terrain analysis functions, a heightmap needs to be defined in the project. The portable build contains a sample project which references a 1km resolution SRTM model. You can use any other model by adding the corresponding layer to the project, and marking it as heightmap from its context menu in the layer tree.
