This release contains several major internal improvements and Landsat 9 access.
[v1.2.7] October 1, 2020
ASTER L1T has been removed from the available datasets
[v1.2.6] July 2019
Migrated the underlying architecture to a new database and integrated with Machine-to-Machine v1.5
[v1.2.5] March 2019
Migrated WMS overlay sources from dds.cr.usgs.gov to ims.cr.usgs.gov
[v1.2.4] September 2018
Switched dynamically generated coverage layers (based on filters) to static coverage layers for improved performance
[v1.2.3] August 2018
Applied new required USGS VisID to GloVis.usgs.gov
[v1.2.2] July 2018
- Hosted ASTER L1T Overlays - Completed population
- SRTM Void Filled Level 2 added to the list of available datasets
[v1.2.1] May 2018
- Added Download Queue Integration code to improve downloads times
- Incorporated changes in metadata to accommodate for the switch to Landsat Multi-Mission datasets
[v1.2] December 27, 2017
- A new Landing Page highlights new features and allows the user to launch in full-screen or normal
- The Interface Controls sidebar has been adjusted to be in a static position on the screen, so data will not be covered by it. The crosshair has been centralized to better fit in the viewing window.
- Users can now Jump to a Scene ID directly under the map pin button icon in the upper right.
- The Scene Navigator box formerly in the lower right hand corner has evolved into a timeline control panel for easier manipulation of the data
- The Timeline Tool works in co-discovery mode to compare the range in coverage between the data sets
- A list of Keyboard Shortcuts can be found under the gear icon by clicking View Shortcuts
[v1.1.1] May 15, 2017
- The display for the map can be changed to Full Screen mode by enabling the Full Screen mode icon in the upper right corner of the map.
- The Default Data Set option is added to the General Preferences section. Default Data Set determines which data sets to use when first loading GloVis Next.
- When the Predefined Layers is enabled, the Configure Layer Icon is added allowing a displays option to position the system and user defined WMS layers above or below the scene imagery.
[v1.1] March 15, 2017
This release includes many improvements to the speed of the display and Landsat 8 access.
Tip: for users who would like to upload a KML or Shapefile, apply a WMS layer, draw a reference polygon, or add a point marker with a label, those features are available in the Reference Layers panel of the Interface Controls. Don't see the Reference Layers panel? In your Preferences, under General Preferences, enable the Reference Layer Panel.
- The default display mode includes a Map Center Point crosshair icon, and the display only shows scenes that intersect that point. This should make previous/next temporal navigation more like classic GloVis functionality. To restore GloVis 1.0 functionality, log in and update General Preferences to enable Advanced Geographic Filters.
- The default display mode allows only one data set to be selected. Limiting the number of data sets improves the display speed. To select several data sets at once, log in and update General Preferences to enable Co-discovery Mode. You may also want to increase the number of Rolling Browse that show before and after the date of the current scene.
- Landsat 8 is here! The Landsat team continues to process Landsat 8 data to Collection 1 standards, which means the data set is incomplete, but we encourage users to utilize Landsat Collection 1 data. Please see https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/nli/landsat/landsat-8 for more information.
- Download scenes directly from the Selected Scenes panel across the top or the Scene Navigation panel in the lower right.
- The Selected Scenes list has moved slightly, to a drop-down panel across the top of the map view area.
[v1.0]
Initial release of the non-Java applet version of the application.
- Adjust settings to customize the user experience
- Narrow down results by limiting your parameters on the Interface Control
- Use existing EROS Registration System (ERS) credentials to sign in
- View multiple scenes at once and step through time using the controls in the lower right-hand corner
- View metadata and download the full-band source imagery
