Internal Map Providers

OpenStreetMap

SRTM

This map is not loaded from the internet, it is painted within this application and is based on the following data:

SRTM
Data is sampled at 3 arc-seconds, which is about 90 meters (295 feet) in N-S-direction
GLOBE
Data for large-scale maps with a grid of 30 arc-seconds or approx. 1 km (0.6 miles)
ETOPO5
With a grid of 5 arc-minutes or approx. 10 km (6 miles)

This map is drawing the same elevation with the same color but the color for each elevation can be customized. The customization is done in the preference dialog which is described here.

... please be patient ...

When this map displays a location which was never displayed before, the elevation data will be downloaded automatically.

This will delay the painting of the map but the data files are downloaded only once and are saved locally for reuse.

The download status is displayed in the status line when the tile info is not hidden, this can be defined here.
