Two methods that I have been experimenting with are (1) semi-transparent shadows (to mimic the look of hills on the PG game boards) and (2) thick white contour lines.
In the attached picture you can see how these methods compare visually with a hill on a PG game board.
i might be wrong, but I thought Fred was referring to "How do you even see the contours of the real land when looking at google maps. I thought he was insinuating that it was difficult to see where hills are when looking at the satellite photogs ?
Or maybe it was me that just got the wrong end of the stick of his question
If I did, then I put the that very question to you as I like the idea you have brought up.
