Belgium Campaign 1815

Yes, but as you can see on the attached picture, what we call hill is only a small elevation.
It's easy to imagine that the ground topography may have change since 200 years.

Of course can change but a little i think, on area where hill on your map i see lowplace, where the hill?

[Jacquinot]

Panorama elevations is different to Satellite map and your old map elevations, somthing wrong.

Yes, it's strange...
When you look at the picture in the direction of the Belle-Alliance, a small hill is visible on the right of the road but not clearly on the left, at the place where the battery was supposed to be

When i work at Borodino map i cant found Shevardino hill and Grand Redoubt hill on satellite map and im add this hills by my hand, like i saw they in nature, i think satellite surveying of heights have some errors because of scale i think.

[Jacquinot]

The map must look like this:

Also, I've read that the mound where the modern-day monument stands wasn't there historically -- I hope you took that out of the topography for the battlefield.

Read my previous post about Borodino map, Shevardino barrow and Grand redoubt barrow was are very small objekts to satellite geodesy and Lion monument too i think.

Waterloo field elevations from googlemaps:

Looking at the two maps of post #57,  maybe you can see the difference between the 1815 topography and google map

[Alfiere]

My satellite map 10 km of Waterloo,posted because I see some little difference.
So continue to discuss , is interesting.
(build how usual with Google earth,srtm,scilab etc)

Yes this map like in "Waterloo Napoleon last battle" game, i recognise elevations.

[bibouba]

the map that I ve mad for the waterloo mod is the satellite map.


But if you can done a better one would be nice too.

This all very interesting but it seems to be in the wrong Forum.  Maybe JMM should make a new Forum for "Campaigns"

Hi Bibouba, i think you make some mistakes in calculation for scilab, chek your scilab parameters. The boors, lakes and rivers must be in lowplaces, on your waterloo map boors placed not in the lap, when i draw broors from "googlemaps" on satellite map im allways chek that broors must be in laps, eo ipso im chek rightness of elevation.
