Collection of highresolution heightmaps and geometry for CanaryIslands. (The preview images have boosted heights to make it easier to see and are not the actual height values)
The greyscale values between 0-1 are heightvalues between -100 and 10000 metres. For a proper result the greyscale values should be remapped accordingly.
In the files, LatLon means aligned to the following latitude/longitude coordinates : minimum Latitude :27.0 maximum Latitude :30.0 minimum Longitude :-19.0 maximum Longitude :-13.0
Cartesian means the latitude/longitude coordinates got mapped onto a earth-sized sphere, then aligned the poles to a grid and brought to the origin. This method should have the least distortion. The other heightmap with longitude/latitude coordinates are on the Mercator projection.
