Welcome to the EdWare Elevation Server (EdWare ES)! EdWare ES helps you acquire data and create images for your desktop applications as well as author your own web mapping services (WMS) for internet applications. We'll even automatically host these services after you created your WMS!
Edware will improve your workflow while making it straight-forward to create custom maps and data layers for your organization's mapping applications. EdWare reduces the time it takes to aggregate and download DEM data and makes it possible to create custom hillshade images, web map services, slope maps, and tile map services.
Economy - Efficiency - Aesthetics.

Digital Elevation Model Data - The Easy Way!
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) form the foundation for many EdWare applications. Downloadable data are available for the world from ASTER, NED and SRTM.

Hillshade Analysis
If you like hillshade, you've hit the jackpot! Hillshade imagery is derived from DEM base data. In addition to multiple DEM sources, you can define the color look-up table and lighting model to apply to your hillshade imagery.
Follow this link to learn how to generate hillshades using EdWare on the Web software.
Slope Analysis
Need slope maps? They're calculated on the fly using EdWare! Right now we have some pre-cooked color lookup tables, but in the near future, you'll be able to roll your own! Available in TIFF, PNG, JPEG or GIF format.
