# 1. Change the resolution of the grid file to either "01m" (lower resolution)
# or "15s" (higher resolution). Note that higher resolution grids will have
# larger file sizes.

Maybe link to https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/remote-datasets/earth-relief.html#usage so users know what are the possible spatial resolutions, and mention explicitly that 01m stands for 1 arc minute (some people might think it's 1 meter).
