Real World Terrain

You can source real world, public domain terrain data from around the world using Course Terrain Tool, one of our free course building tools.

  1. Open Course Terrain Tool and zoom to the area you want to capture.
  2. Hold shift while clicking the map to set the center of your capture area
  3. Drag the slider to change the size of your capture area.

    Note: Terrain data must be a square, so you’ll need to drag and adjust to find the smallest square that fits your course within it.
