Notes:

This v0.2 package uses the upward-continued global GeoTIFF as a low-resolution background layer. It normalizes the source longitude domain from 0..360 to -180..180, clips to Web Mercator latitude limits, and generates visualization tiles. It does not redistribute the raw source GeoTIFF.

Mapzen hosted-service attribution guidance:

Source attribution notes:

Tilezen/joerd's terrain attribution document lists required source-provider attributions for the underlying elevation datasets. FieldLayers links to the full upstream attribution document rather than treating terrain as a FieldLayers layer package:

Notes:

Terrain is optional topographic display context in the viewer. It is not magnetic data, not package evidence, and not listed in manifests/layers.json.
