Scott Schroeder Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Can you be a little more specific? Outside of the US covers quite a bit of area, some have info some don't. USGS has topomaps of the world at pretty decent resolution. Virtual Earth on Bing Maps and Google Earth should also have topo information, at least in their respective 3D views to get general ideas. If you are looking for contour lines, you may have to pay for those. MapMart is pretty decent, mostly preview before you have to pay: http://www.mapmart.com/ Loads of links, free software info at the bottom: http://www.terrainmap.com/rm39.html You can also see if you can request the civil cad from the project or project survey info from the civil engineers. If they've got building plans, they have civil plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
