About GPXZ

GPXZ aims to improve access to high-quality open elevation data.

I've been working with elevation data for ages. After making elevation services from scratch over and over again I built Open Topo Data, which lets you query your elevation datasets using an HTTP API.

GPXZ was born from feedback from Open Topo Data users:

• the difficulty of working with multi-TB elevation datasets (hence the hosted paid GPXZ API)
• and the inconvenience of needing multiple datasets to cover your domain (hence the merged global GPXZ dataset)

GPXZ LLC is proud to be a self-funded, profitable, small business.
