Elevation Mapper

Elevation Mapper is a comprehensive and reliable software solution whose main purpose is to assist you in creating elevated geographical maps, which can cover just about any surface on the planet.

Subsequent to a fairly brief and uneventful installation process, you can start working with the application, as it quite simple to handle, making experience in the field more of an advantage rather than a necessity.

The main window features the project data fields which can be customized according to your needs, while in the ‘Output Data Folder Location’ field, you can choose the destination directory for the generated files.

For starters, you will need to configure the ‘Project Settings’, by entering a name for it, then inputting the targeted North, South, East and West coordinates, both for longitude and latitude, in order to specify the area you wish to work on.

You can also add the number of elevation points, then decide whether to create DEM files, CSV elevation documents, KML contour line files, legend PNG/TGA images or PNG and KML filled contour documents, by entering ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ in the appropriate field.

The utility lets you add a series of ‘Project Notes’, after which you can click on the ‘Create Maps’ option from the ‘Run’ menu. After a period during which Elevation Mapper processes the input information, the tool extracts and creates the requested files, saving them to the previously set location, where they can be recovered so you can start working with them.

Overall, Elevation Mapper proves to be an efficient and user-friendly program that can help you generate elevation maps for any geographically defined area on Earth, just by inputting the corresponding coordinates.
