Climate 

WorldClim - High Resolution Global Climate Data
WorldClim is a set of global climate layers (climate grids) with a spatial resolution of a square kilometer. They can be used for mapping and spatial modeling in a GIS or other computer programs.
You can download climate data for:
  • Current conditions (interpolations of observed data, representative of 1950-2000)
  • Future conditions (downscaled from global climate model (GCM) output, IPPC 3rd assessment; 4th assessment coming soon)
  • Past conditions (downscaled global climate model output)

Elevation

Global Land One-Kilometer Base Elevation (GLOBE) Digital Elevation Model, Version 1.0

  
GTOPO30 is a global raster Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a horizontal grid spacing of 30 arc seconds (approximately 1 kilometer).

GPS Visualizer 

GPS Visualizer is a free, easy-to-use online utility that creates maps and profiles from GPS data (tracks and waypoints, including GPX files), driving routes, street addresses, or simple coordinates. Use it to see where you've been, plan where you're going, or visualize geographic data (business locations, scientific observations, events, customers, real estate, geotagged photos, "GPS drawing," etc.).
