This week I created a 60 megapixel relief map of Ecuador from the digital elevation data I've accumulated. I was able to use our plotter at work and plot it out in large format (36 x 42") on glossy paper. It came out amazing!! DM next door is going to get it dry-mounted so that we can give it to Dean Jacobs.
The whole map includes portions of Columbia and Peru to the north and south, respectively. The black portion is the Pacific ocean.
Below is a full-size detail of the area surrounding the active Tungurahua Volcano that's in the middle of the overall image above. The dataset used has an elevation point every 100 meters (330 ft). For large area maps, it's decent, but for details or low-relief jungle areas, it breaks down. I found a dataset that has three times the resolution; stay tuned for some higher resolution maps.
