QGIS is an open source GIS desktop application that you can use to easily display Nearmap's DSM (elevation) data.
The DSM data is delivered in a GeoTIFF file.
Note: This application was not created by Nearmap. It is built, updated, and supported by QGIS. If you experience issues with this application, or would like to see improvements, please contact QGIS directly.

- Browse and select the geocoded .tif file:

- Double click the DSM layer in the Layers Panel to access the Layer Properties, then select the Style properties:
- Under Band rendering change the Render type to Singleband pseudocolor and click Classify:
