Another big update: Elevation data outside Europe now uses SRTM with 1 arcsecond resolution, this is about 30 meters on the ground, instead of the previous 90 meters (3 arcseconds).

This means much more precise elevation calculations for your routes, especially in steep terrain!

For Europe, high-resolution data has already been in use for the past year.

Take a look at the before-and-after image (animated GIF):

Animated GIF which shows two renderings of an digital elevation model (DTM) with 1 Hz frequency. One DTM provides better resolution than the other. The image shows a river or a series of water bodies with a distinct, winding path. The river is highlighted in a darker color, possibly brown or orange, which contrasts with the lighter, more uniform tones of the surrounding land. The surrounding area has a textured appearance, suggesting it might be a forested or mountainous region. The overall image has a high level of detail, allowing for the observation of the river's course and the surrounding terrain.
