Important Notes
The data used in 3D World Map are all public available data,most data have been taken from: the gtopo30,the Micro World Data Bank,the World Gazetteer,The CIA World Fact Book 2001. you can use the data and screenshots produced with the 3D World Map freely. The cities's altitudes have been computed out from the gtopo30,because the resolution of gtopo30 is only about 1 km,so you can not surpose the altitudes are always accurate.
