[GIS] Open source tool to view DTED and DEM raster-data

demdtedopen-source-gis

I am new to GIS field. Is there any open source GIS tool to view DTED and DEM tiff-files?

Update 1

I have some DTED files and DEM files. I want to open and see those files using some open source GIS tools. Can I use MapWindow GIS or QGIS for this? Are there any other tools available?

Please advise.

Best Answer

in qgis, you can see your dted files as contour map or hillshade map, if it helps.

for converting your file to contour:

Raster → Extraction → Contour

for converting it to hillshade:

Raster → Analysis → DEM (Terrain Models).

This examples from Paulina Fernandez Luengo which shows hillshade and contour map together.
