It's the details that matter: This professional travel map features more details than any other. We used the SRTM Space Shuttle topographic data of the Earth to accurately calculate the elevation of the terrain. We also incorporate landscape modeling to illustrate the topography (such as deserts, forests, flat lands, and the tundra) of the Earth. Our ocean floor elevation modeling is derived from NOAA oceanic data and displays the topography of the ocean floor - which brings meaning to land formations, plate tectonics, and ocean currents.
