How to Revamp Arte TV Show on Geopolitics

The Franco-German Arte channel launched a revamped version of the show “With open maps”. The new features included a new design, new geographic animations, and new presenter with the journalist Emilie Aubry.

Satellite maps and elevation data also needed to be updated. The show's producers had specific requirements for the satellite imagery maps and elevation datasets they needed to use as background layers.

Firstly, they needed high-quality visual data that would be able to capture the intricate details of the world's landscapes and topography. This was essential to ensure that the maps and animations in the show were visually stunning and able to showcase the beauty of the world in a realistic and immersive way.

Secondly, Arte required up-to-date data that would accurately reflect the current state of the world. With a rapidly changing environment, it was important for the data to be as recent as possible to ensure that the maps and animations were as accurate as possible.

Finally, Arte required global coverage, the ability to explore different regions and showcase the diversity of the world was an important aspect of the show.
