SoaringPilot uses 30 arc second .DEM formatted data to produce the sub-sampled terrain data. You can use the below image map to download the areas of the world that you wish to use. Instructions for creating the terrain data for SP with these .DEM files can be found in the Readme.pdf file included with software.
