		Google Earth Ground Guidance supports exporting fast and concealed routes in a variety of formats including Garmin MapSource (*.mps), Google Earth Keyhole Markup Language (*.kml), GPS Exchange (*.gpx), Magellan eXplorist (*.upt), and Magellan Meridian (*.rte).  In this screenshot, a soldier used Ground Guidance to plan a fast route at Fort Eustis, Virginia and then imported the route into Google Earth. 31 Jul 08
		Washout Avoidance Ground Guidance routes around treacherous washout areas near Camp Billy Machen, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Desert Training Facility, Niland, California.  Washout areas are especially dangerous for a soldier performing a night operation on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). 28 Jul 08
		Urban Concealed Route Ground Guidance plans a concealed off-road route in Sadr City, Iraq.  Whereas a fast route uses major roads, a concealed route weaves in and out of buildings, minimizing a soldier's exposure to potential threats. 28 Jul 08
		Unit Prediction Ground Guidance indicates how far a lost individual on foot could travel in thirty minutes from a starting point in Hillsdale, Minnesota.  The shape of the area depends on the selected transportation mode (e.g. on-foot, all-terrain vehicle, Jeep, or marine).  Unit Prediction is designed for search and rescue (SAR) personnel who can use this information to select locations for checkpoints and lookouts. 28 Jul 08
		Topographic Map Ground Guidance generates an off-road route at Fort Campbell, Kentucky and overlays it on a topographic map.  Ground Guidance can overlay a route on any type of map. 28 Jul 08
		Sniper Killed Ground Guidance directs a convoy to a sniper's location at the McKenna military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) site in Fort Benning, Georgia. 28 Jul 08
		Shot Detected Ground Guidance redirects a convoy to a sniper's location upon receiving a coordinate from BBN Technologies's Boomerang shot detection system. 28 Jul 08
		Route Check Ground Guidance analyzes a straight-line route planned by a user and highlights areas impassable due to slope and water.  If prompted by the user, Ground Guidance will replan the route to avoid these obstacles. 28 Jul 08
		On-Road Route Ground Guidance is unique in its ability to plan off-road routes, but it can also plan on-road routes like Google Maps and MapQuest.  This on-road route is at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. 28 Jul 08
		Multiple Routes Ground Guidance enables users to plan multiple routes and to switch among them while navigating.  Soldiers often plan four routes labeled primary, alternate, contingent, and emergency (PACE). 28 Jul 08
		Mountainous Route Ground Guidance plans a fast route that avoids mountainous areas near Camp Billy Machen, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Desert Training Facility, Niland, California.  A straight-line route with the same starting and ending points is impassable. 28 Jul 08
		Intervisibility Ground Guidance displays a view shed that indicates the areas that are visible from a specified location.  Several existing programs analyze elevation to construct a view shed, but only Ground Guidance also takes vegetation into account. 28 Jul 08
		Fast Route Ground Guidance plans a fast route through mountainous terrain near Camp Billy Machen, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Desert Training Facility, Niland, California 28 Jul 08
		Falcon View Integration Ground Guidance plans an off-road route in the Falcon View application that Special Forces soldiers use for mission planning.  No longer limited to planning straight-line routes, Ground Guidance enables soldiers to rapidly plan fast and concealed routes. 28 Jul 08
		Concealed Route Ground Guidance plans a concealed route at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.  Whereas fast routes prefer roads, trails, and fields, concealed routes avoid them like the plague.  Instead, concealed routes leverage topographic features and vegetation to minimize exposure to potential threats. 28 Jul 08
		Avoid Threat Ground Guidance dynamically reroutes when a soldier plots a reported improvised explosive device (IED) on a map.  Ground Guidance automatically avoids threats such as enemy units and mortar tubes. 28 Jul 08
		Avoid Cordon Ground Guidance plans an off-road route that avoids a hand-drawn cordon 28 Jul 08
