In this paper, we present a novel migration simulation of entities over landscapes. The entities can explore the environment or "walk" from point to point, depending on their programmable attributes. For a fast adaptation to new maps, we have developed a converter which creates 3D-landscapes from 2D satellite (or map) images. Different altitudes get represented with different color codes and automatically converted into the landscape. The underlying system is based on a potential field, which is fully configurable and extendable for additional information about the landscape (e.g. weather, GIS). We show how this simulation can be applied to researches by simulating for example human migration over a specific landscape and how it helps to get information about the course of the walking-tour.
