Here is the scale :

Oh, amazing
Tha's exactly the scale we need, with the Terrain.act palette applied to it. You can replace each shade of blue on it with a grey value going from 0 to 47
Out of curiosity: do the first two values both correspond to -17 m?

Sure, we can't do this work pixel by pixel
We are going to face some problems though:
1- what is the scale/projection of your depth map? If we want to do a decent work, that map should be stretched to fit the SHIII world
2- sure we can convert that colour map into a grey-scale image, but then grey values wouldn't have any relation with depths.
It would be better starting from a greyscale haight map. I have read on the web that, though a bit complicated, extracting height data from Google Earth is all but impossible.

That's going to be a real PITA
