Altus is powerful and the SDK around it is powerful as well. If you have hit the performance limitations of common-off-the-shelf GIS software, or you have finally decided that all that time you're spending trying to get open-source solutions to meet your needs, then Altus may be for you. A wide range of developers have ramped up and are using Altus in projects on every operating system. Show-case commercial examples include ForeFlight, Panasonic Weather Solutions, AvNav and RocketRoute. In the transportation sector, Altus is driving applications that range from jumbo-jets to buses to hikers. In the hobby sector, Altus is being used to navigate drones and geo-locate friends' photos.
