Are they going to release maps or it is just for eyes of selected few?


Seems to be public domain, available here: https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_d...


Heaven oh mighty, I just wanted something web based to take a peak not to download 5Gb of data :D. Few resolution layers, real time like google map, there are public domain algorithms now, should not be difficult to setup and they could put something like wiki. (support me button)

Anyhow thanks!


Being public domain I guess they're leaving that up to interested parties to implement. Perhaps you'd like to have a crack!


The data probably sits on a few hundred hard drives in a data center. To make it available to the public, they would need to move the data to a client-facing server, then set up a platform to allow the public to navigate through the data. It's not an easy undertaking.
