Title: Elevation Api
Post by: aknight0 on January 31, 2021, 05:11:38 PM
Maybe this is well known, but I came across this website yesterday and it's pretty awesome!  By far the easiest process I've found to get a DEM and matching satellite data for a location.  It gives you a nice choice of elevation and image sources, and generates a 3D model as a bonus.

It's pretty good, but of course textures are with shadows and some toponomy, and vertical areas are stretched.
