It has not been working for me for some time. Tried going back to making maps in the pre-Venhola fashion and thought it would speed things up but found it's more frustrating not having that detailed level of information Venhola provides.
You might be thinking of WW2 map and MicroDEM which I think was sort of the origin of Venhola:

Re: Height Maps
I will wait a few days more before trying that Gmail address again in the meantime I have tried contacting his former employer to see if they have any contact info for him
Suggest finding a map you have already built using the program and modifying it to suit the new one you want to build. It's OK to take some liberties with maps. You cannot do precise representations of existing terrain anyway.
The cut-and-paste feature in the extended map editor is handy for that

Re: Height Maps
No reply yet and there could be 100 reasons why but I may have found out why this has happened. On my first try today a message was displayed that said the website’s certificate expired 81 days ago

BUT HOPE STILL LIVES
I can get to the map editor now but it shows a white screen until you press the bottom button that toggles between map and satellite imagery
And from that I was able to generate a map ! get while you can
