Downloading topography from the web

If you do not have a topography file, g-Space can download a digital elevation model (DEM) for the project area from an online elevation service. The downloaded DEM is stored as a georeferenced topography surface and can be used in processes that need elevation (for example velocity model creation). You can also download satellite basemap imagery for the same area - see Import satellite imagery.
