OpenTopoMap

Introduction

OpenTopoMap is a free topographic map - generated using OpenStreetMap data and SRTM elevation data. The map-legend is based on a style that matches the official German topographic maps, i.e. it has a style that is easy to read - with a high-contrast and a set of logical signatures. The map has a global coverage. Please visit the OpenTopoMap project homepage (https://opentopomap.org) in order to learn more. If you want to contribute to build an even better map, then you should contribute to the OpenStreetMap project.

A map sample from Germany is shown in the figure below.

Usage Notes

• 2023-01-16: We have added finer-scale zoom-levels - levels 15-17. In order to use these in windPRO, you need to re-attach the map in windPRO (existing OpenTopoMaps must be removed, then added again).
• For issues and notes about the OSM data (such on how disputed territories are rendered) - please visit our page on OpenStreetMap data.
