The main difference between iCAV NextGen and DHS Earth is the platform used to display the data. iCAV NextGen is a DHS-developed and managed viewer that provides imagery, foundation-level infrastructure data, mission-specific data and dynamic situational information in a geospatial context. DHS Earth is a data feed based on KML file standard that uses commercially developed 3D viewers, such as Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth, to provide an intuitive user interface for rapid data ingest.
