Guide: How to create high quality grayscale heightmaps for Cities: Skylines 1 | Qgis | Map Making

This tutorial teaches you, how you can make your own high quality heightmaps, in much greater details, than any online downloader can achieve. The example, for the sake of easiness, only uses USGS SRTM data maps. It is however recommended to find good, local sources for your maps. Links to a couple of sources, further down. Q&A Q: What's the lowest resolution you would recommend using? A: Min. 10 meter, so 10 meter or less. If your files are in arc minutes, use this site to calculate what the resolution is in meters: https://www.opendem.info/arc2meters.html Q: How do I see the elevation of a given point, on a map? A: Install the plugin, called "Value Tool. You can see it working in my video, when I'm on the front-page of QGIS. It's the lower window, in the right side. It only works on DEM data, not maps, like Google Maps, unless there's a DEM file on top, or below the geographic map. Values are in meters.
