Default Free TOPOGRAPHIC PROGRAMS -map designing powertool

Gentlemen,

If you need to design a real topo map and you can't find any topo map, then you may depend on Google_earth for a nice representation of the map elevation.



cheers,
Pyros

Neat.
Have you made a Thermopylae map? Would be nice for a Greek defend vs. Persian attack.

Yes, a Thermopylae map is almost ready, but we will use it for a German attack vs an ANZAC defense!

WWII focus, but useful for 1950s scenarios...

British maps for most of mainland Europe. Zoom in...
