The first thing I wanted to do was to create a hillshade for the Indian subcontinent using SRTM elevation data.<br><br>The elevation map looks fine. However, the hillshade looks strage with a max terrain value of 195 or so (it shold be 8000m). I figured out that elevation data should be reprojected before attempting to draw hillshade. The question is reproject to what? What should be the target SRS?<br>
<br>Please help.<br><br>bbkaran<br><br>
