Terrain Aware Map

I have terrain aware access and was wondering what map is it that the program uses? The reason for asking, I would like to be able to view this particular map for whatever area I am flying just for comparison. Is there a particular website or link that could be used to check out the terrain the program uses?

As noted in the Terrain Awareness article:

https://support.dronesmadeeasy.com/hc/en-us/articles/211810943-Terrain-Awareness

The default data source is NASA's SRTM data. We use a specially formatted version of the RAW data and don't really have a public viewer for it. It is a pretty commonly used data source due to its worldwide coverage. 

The data was taken back in 2000 so you will have to be careful with earth that has been modified since that time. 

You may be able to check some of the data out here:

Starting with Android version 1.4.0 and iOS version 5.5.0, Map Pilot Pro's Terrain Awareness feature will have options for ASTER, Copernicus, SRTM and any other datasets we can add as built-in Terrain Awareness Data Sources. Copernicus is 30 meter data and is essentially global at 89 to -89 degree coverage (everything but the poles). US users now have access to 10m data from 3DEP/NED.

Having multiple independent terrain data source choice makes it so you have options if one data source has missing data in your operating location. 

We recommend using Copernicus for most work. 

You can read more about the Terrain Data Sources that are currently available here:
