How to build a terrain using RL Sat-Data?

[Colince411 38]

I've seen pictures and out-dated videos of people using real information and sat-images to create real location in Arma 3, but I cannot find anything recent or still applicable to assist me in the start of my project.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

its from Arma 2,

but the steps to download real data, and how to use Globalmapper are the same:

if this is your first terrain, i recommend to use this tutorial first:
