Terrain RGB

The MapTiler Terrain RGB is a composite of high-resolution DEMs (Digital Elevation Models) with global coverage, curated and processed by our geodata team. Not only you can use this data to enrich your map styles with hill shade or colored slopes, but you can also use it in applications such as elevation profiles, microwave link planning, etc. The Terrain RGB covers the land, and Ocean RGB covers the ocean floor.

As the data contains the encoded elevation values directly and it’s even possible to manipulate them on the fly, there are many areas of applications. We have prepared Hillshading and Hand drawn hillshading to be used in our maps.
