For today’s law enforcement professionals, accurately documenting and reconstructing crash or crime scenes is critical—not only for investigations but also for courtroom success. Leica Map360 forensic reconstruction software continues to deliver the tools officers, forensic specialists, and technical crash investigators need to get the job done faster and with confidence.
The 2025 release of Map360 (v2025.0) introduces new features and enhancements that make it even easier to work with complex data, produce compelling visuals, and streamline field-to-courtroom workflows
Here are the top three advantages law enforcement agencies will appreciate in Map360 2025:
1. Improved Point Cloud Tools for More Accurate Scene Documentation
Point clouds offer a powerful way to preserve and analyse scenes exactly as they were found. With Map360 2025, working with this data is even more practical:
Print and Export Point Cloud Data
Produce high-quality PDFs or printed diagrams that maintain excellent visual clarity while keeping file sizes manageable—ideal for reports, presentations, or courtroom use.
Point Cloud Object
Import multiple point clouds from different sources and manually align them in the scene. New positioning controls give officers precise control to ensure the scene is reconstructed accurately.
These tools help preserve critical evidence in a visual format that’s easy to interpret, present, and share with prosecutors or defence.
2. Faster Field-to-Office Workflows with Real-Time Data Access
Investigators no longer need to wait to bring field-collected data back to the office. Map360 2025 supports connected workflows:
Reality Cloud Studio Streaming
Officers and analysts can now stream point cloud data directly from Hexagon’s Reality Cloud Studio into Map360, enabling remote collaboration and instant access to scanned scenes. (This requires a Reality Cloud Studio account.)
Import Zeno Mobile Projects
Bring in evidence collected with Leica Zeno Mobile devices with a single step—Map360 converts zipped project files into usable CSV data ready for mapping.
These capabilities help departments accelerate the timeline from evidence collection to investigation and reporting.
3. New Visual Tools for Clearer Communication and Courtroom Presentation
Whether preparing a briefing, a reconstruction report, or testimony visuals, Map360 2025 adds new tools to help officers present what happened—clearly and convincingly:
Camera Projection & Coordinates
Place virtual cameras with manual or coordinate-based positioning to simulate lines of sight and visual perspectives from surveillance cameras or eyewitnesses.
Eyedropper Tool
Match colours from screen elements to keep diagrams visually consistent and professional.
Updated Canadian Vehicle Specifications (CVS) Database
Access up-to-date vehicle data, including 2025 and some 2026 models—critical for accurate reconstructions and technical analysis.
These tools support officers in creating visuals that tell the story of the scene with precision and clarity.
