Abstract
An approach is provided for providing a digital elevation model. For example, the approach involves processing, by a processor, map elevation data to create a hierarchical resolution tile representation of the digital elevation model for a geographic area. The hierarchical resolution tile representation includes a plurality of resolution levels, wherein each of the plurality of levels represents the digital elevation model at a different resolution. The digital elevation model includes a plurality of control points, wherein each of the plurality of control points is associated with an elevation data point determined from the map elevation data.
