It's interesting how the simulated view makes errors in the terrain data obvious. The view from Santa Cruz island (off the coast of California) is almost completely obscured by single-pointed errors in the height map along the coast that didn't get cleaned from the data: https://caltopo.com/view#ll=34.0505,-119.8665&e=30&t=n&z=3&c...

I also love CalTopo, and this is a really cool feature. But once you switch to WireImagery, FATMAP gets you the same thing (but better).

wow this is cool!

but somehow the wireimagery setting doesn't work for any of the locations I've tried. it does work for the one you linked...

Edit: oh... picked a random location in the USA instead and there it works. So... no Europe? what's up with that?

Edit 2: also no south america apparently.

this is AMAZING! It has really great detail for RMNP.

I wish it had lighting. The weather.gov lat/lon graphs has it I wonder if that is a free source or something better.

Snow depth too would be amazing

that is cool, the history url thing... hit back like a thousand times can't get out, I get the reason but still
