My wife has a part-time gig leading cruise ship tours. When accompanying her, I always bring a big map project to work on. Labeling this one should keep me busy.

@TrailRating The detail in the 1m DEMs did a nice job accentuating the rugged Adirondack terrain, which I enhanced with texture shading.

@MtnMapper That’s a beautiful map render. How did you find it working with the 1m DEMs?

I am preparing a hybrid bathymetric dataset from merged GEBCO and BathDNN25, which derives from NASA SWOT. It is super clean. Here's the Mariana Trench rendered as plan oblique relief—with cast shadows thrown in for good measure.

@shiMusa2 Thank you. Because the river flows through several countries that have different spellings for it, I thought it best to use the English exonym: Rhine. Same thing for the Danube.
