Field notes
The proposed workflow uses rectangular area selection, a live estimate, and a single download covering zoom levels 0–17. The page describes a 15,000-tile ceiling, roughly 525 MB maximum, resumable downloads, and shared storage for overlapping areas. Its map data comes from OpenTopoMap, which combines OpenStreetMap data with SRTM elevation under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. The site identifies the app as an independent client rather than an OpenTopoMap or Apple project.
