Adding basemap Charts to ForeFlight

Is there any way to get good topo data for FF? This (on the left) is what I fly with when crossing the Alps above an overcast

There are FF charts which approximate the topo presentation but they are much lower resolution.

Can’t you see the all around pics altitude in aero map with relief?

Yeah that one is not too bad

Is there some general way to add topo data to FF? I see @dimme did it in post #1 for Sweden but how? My data is in tiles, downloaded about 15 years ago from Google Terrain, using an app called Mobac (mobile atlas creator). They were in BMP format, IIRC, and were processed to the much more compact Oziexplorer ozf2 format (total size ~5GB) which obviously cannot run on an Ipad in any way. I would have to re-download them with Mobac, since the original download was ~100GB and was deleted.

I’ve got a new device and trying to find the excellent basemaps made my @Dimme.

The Jottacloud links seems to be old/not working.

Are they still available?

They are somewhere on my disk.

I’ll take a look later.

@Peter
I recommend to use shaded terrain in FF as seen in @greg_mp ‘s post, it shows the topography better.
