Brief overview on elevation maps - 2nd link: Make sure you apply all of the following parameters. And stick to the order given:
-Select "ETOPO2 2-minute Global relief ver2" from the "Grid Database:" dropdown list - enter GridID: Does not matter - Your personal name for your grid -select Degrees and Minutes: Make sure xou correctly enter the correct values and to tick the correct cardinal direction: (N,E,S,W) - Grid Cell size: does not really matter either - Grid Format: 1)output grid format: Binary Raster Format 2)Output grid header: ascii (arc) header - take down the number of long. cells and the number of lat. cells and put them into the text file (as you know from the other link) e.g.: #of latitude cells 1081 # of longitude cells: 2161 IN the text file it should look like this: "2161 1081" (without quotation marks and only a space in between)
I guess i should write an overall tutorial on elevation files.. or generally on map design with grids. If you have checked my LOTR map, you will see that the grid system works pretty well...
