Pathfinder

Pathfinder makes complex projects easier by combining spatial data and user know-how with our modelling on the cloud. Generate multiple scenarios and compare them quickly to find the best fit based on your parameters.

How it works

A simple workflow makes Pathfinder easy to use.

Identify project data,
Set project parameters
Define multiple scenarios and generate results

Compare route alternatives with a heat map
2D and 3D visuals
Analytics

Review, edit, and share routes with the team
Export results
