Thanks to DEM (digital elevation data), Touratech can tell you the altitude under your mouse cursor, for any map. This can be very practical when using the X/Y option, telling you if you are going up or down. You can also use the Touratech 3D option who offers the possibility to attach an elevation value to all waypoints or track points (even if they were not recorded).

DVD for $79.95
Coverage is starting in Central America ( Mexico) heading north.
SRTM3 elevation data: region North America, raster width about 90 meter.
SRTM 30 elevation data: this DVD includes worldwide (90°N - 90°S) coverage
of SRTM 30 elevation data, raster width about 900meter.
As a general limitation with SRTM3 data, there is no data available north
of 60°N! All data provided "as is", there may be missing portions within a DEM-file as well as incorrect elevation information. As use, handling and installation of all these data is quite special and may require up to 12GB of space on your harddrive.
This DVD includes a setup routine prepared for TTQV3. You have the option
to select these SRTM3 data in predefined 10° x 10° squares for automated
installation. The elevation data can not be used directly from DVD, as they are stored packed.
