Tracks Satellite and heightmap all-in-one

[wmialil]

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Are there any sites or programs which allow you to select a few kilometres square of a map, and then download (reasonably) hi-res images of the exact same selected area in both a greyscale heightmap format and a satellite image format?

Thanks,
William

I'd say it depends which country ?
to each their own database, websites or not

Mainly Spain, France and the UK.

Edit: I've been using Copernicus but this method involves manually aligning different satellite and heightmap images (both time-consuming and innaccurate).

I'm using a paid plugin for 3dsmax, called maproom, which can gather the 3D, height, buildings shape etc.
maybe there's a demo version you can try i don't know

On open street map you can get info as well

I'm not answering exactly what you are looking for i know

There’s an alternative method I stumbled on the other day, capturing google 3D, which is essentially aerial photogrammetry, and quite detailed. It involves using RenderDoc and Blender.

Our findings are here, hopefully something you can use? https://assettocorsamods.net/threads/kyalami-2016.1477/page-8

That Blender plugin looks very useful, thanks.

Cheers Ben for responding as well, have seen a few paid options but wondered if it could be done for free.
