most of the earth's landmass based on SRTM and GTOPO30
elevation data. |

| Relief Maps |
....:::..:::...
| Click on Reliefs to view
the maps with fast zooming and panning and a simple but excellent navigation
system, powered by Zoomify. The Flash Version
is best viewed with Firefox and requires
Macromedia Flash Player Version 6 or above.
As well as using the toolbar controls described in
Help,
you can directly navigate on the map.

| PHP Version |
....:::..:::...
| Visit www.srtm.com to view the PHP Version, an older version
without panning, so the navigation is slightly complicated, but runs without Flash. At the moment this
version offers more features like a location bar to view randomly chosen tiles, a popup menu to
select and fade in Wikipedia
links and an input field for geographic coordinates. |

| Technique |
....:::..:::...
| To provide global relief maps 14571 SRTM tiles sized 40 GB
together and GTOPO30 data were processed and composed to an
image of 432000 x 216000 pixel (93.312 gigapixel) and split
later on to 259200 tiles sized 600 x 600 pixel. The computation
time was about one month on a 1.60 GHz prozessor with 1024 MB Ram.
