Warning: Contour lines for many countries have been updated and improved recently, so it is recommended to check update dates and download the new contours if needed. Among the improvements are:
- Substitution of data from the SRTM by data from Jonathan de Ferranti (www.viewfinderpanoramas.org), which don't have the errors and artifacts of the SRTM, especially in mountainous areas
- Reduction of the number of tiles for each country, which eases the management of the map in the devices
- Reduction of file sizes, for a faster rendering

(**) Contour lines have been generated from data of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) of the NASA. Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech. For all areas where data from Jonathan de Ferranti (www.viewfinderpanoramas.org) were available, they have been used with preference on those from SRTM, as they notably improve the information from the SRTM.
The following maps include data from www.viewfinderpanoramas.org:
- Africa: Algeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, Nigeria, Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Western Sahara
- America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, California, Central America, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Texas, Uruguay, Venezuela
- Asia: India, Philippines, Vietnam
- Europa: British-Isles, France, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey
- Oceania: Australia
Collaborate
OpenStreetmap is made by thousands of volunteers. The more we are, the best the map will be, and all of us will benefit of it. There are two ways you can collaborate:
- If you have a GPS you can log all your tracks and upload your data to OpenStreetMap. Here you have information to get started. You can also collaborate fixing the errors you detect in the maps, adding missing information to the existing data, etc.
- Hosting OpenStreetMap data requieres powerfull servers, informatic staff, etc. All of it implies expenses, so monetary donations, even small ones, are also important. From here you can make your donations.
