Field notes
The site describes an offline process for reconciling geographic sources into terrain, route, and map layers, then reusing that foundation across distinct projects. The Crossing has authored day chapters; the mobile companion is described as pairing 3D stages with a detailed map, and the Iso Editor can export stills or sequences. A separate activities map remains in development, with no public map available yet.
