Abstract
This paper describes an interactive use of a Geographic Data Base. The user is free to move over the entire map or select a particular zone where graphical transformations can be processed. It is possible also to change continuously the point of view and add or suppress specific informations (electric networks, houses).
GGSS is a powerfull tool allowing to open a window on a large numerical Data Base in order to produce synthetic and graphical outputs of landscape. It is used to simulate landscape topography seen at constant height.
