AcadTerrain map generator
Add real terrain to your study area. AcadGIS downloads a 30 m global elevation model and renders shaded relief with an elevation colour ramp — coastlines and all.
What you get
- Shaded relief (hillshade) + elevation tint
- Copernicus GLO-30 DEM — no API key
- Realistic land-to-ocean colouring
- Clip to any region or bounding box
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to download elevation data?
No — AcadGIS fetches and mosaics the DEM tiles automatically for your area.
Can I show the coast?
Yes — set an ocean colour and the terrain reads cleanly down to sea level.
