About & tips
Drag to pan, scroll / pinch to zoom. Contours, hillshade & bathymetry come from AWS Terrain Tiles; roads & features from OpenStreetMap via Overpass. Bathymetry shades water by depth (ocean & bays) — inland lakes above sea level read flat, since the open elevation data stores their water surface, not the lake bed. Large cities take longer and may hit API limits — try a smaller place or "Major roads". Changing layers/detail re-fetches on the next Render.
