In use at the moment 16000x8000 for the surface-map and 32000x16000 DEM.
That maybe sounds big, but its not big enough :)

There was once a NASA website - mapaplanet.org - where you could choose an area
on Mars, and only download a surface and a DEM map from that specific area.
Unfortunately also with limited resolution, but I would like to have something
like that in high-res.

I created this video of Mars at the time, I think with 2000x2000 pixel maps.

If I could download this area with > 20000 pixels somewhere, then flying through
would be quite simple. It's not a question of povray-code or technology, just
data.

I searched several times for sources and tools, but never found what I needed.
Or the tools were so complicated that I couldn't find out if they were suitable.
