As of today we are live! with a new and improved global version of our terrain map.

Now that MapQuest’s closing down free access to it’s service (“modernization,” they call it) it seems like a good time to let people know that there are free, global alternatives out there for map coverage. The project uses streets and roads and places and so on from OSM at high zooms, data from Natural Earth at low zooms, landcover from MODIS and OSM, and Digital Elevation Models from Mapzen.
