An augmented visualization system includes a camera operable to capture a base image of a field of view. A spatial sensor is configured to sense a position of the camera and to generate positional information corresponding to the position. A controller is in communication with the camera, the spatial sensor, and a data source having stored geospatial data. The controller is configured to determine when the geospatial data corresponds to a location in the field of view of the camera based on the positional information. The controller is also configured to generate a geospatial image in response to the controller determining that the location corresponding to the geospatial data is in the field of view. A display is in communication with the controller and is operable to display a composite image in which the geospatial image is overlaid with the base image.
