Data Access

This page lists all the available information for easy downloading of the maps. All maps, except the digital elevation map are 8-bit binary data made on an SGI workstation. Their size is 2160 points in longitude, 1080 points in latitude or 1/6 degree equal angle. All maps begin at the North Pole, Greenwich Meridian. To download a map click on "Download".

Careful!
The map files are large. Use "save link as" under the right mouse button or "control" click for single mac or 2 button mouse.
