What's New – Global contour maps now available

May 20, 2025

Scalgo Live Global was recently updated with the Copernicus GLO-30 Digital Elevation Model (DEM), offering global 30-meter resolution elevation data.

We have now added contour lines, making contour display available everywhere on Earth, at contour intervals between 10 m and 500 m. As with all our contour maps, you can toggle the display of peak and sink markers, to allow you to easily identify those.

50 m contours, with peak markers, for an area around Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Using our point query tool, individual contours can be highlighted and followed. This works even across entire continents - try for instance the 1000 m contour line that encloses the Himalayas. You can also discover the 500 m contour around the Alps, was your intuition regarding its reach correct?
