The grids at higher resolution than 6m are split into tiles and reassembled as needed. Please post any error message you received since hard for us to guess what your terminal said.

I am writing the script into a batch file using windows 10:

gmt begin 05m png  
gmt basemap -R-25/60/-40/45 -JM15c -Ba20f10  
gmt grdimage @earth\_relief\_05m  
gmt end show  
pause

Here is my cmd screen after running the script:

C:\Users\Win 10\Desktop\>gmt begin 05m png

C:\Users\Win 10\Desktop\>gmt basemap -R-25/60/-40/45 -JM15c -Ba20f10

C:\Users\Win 10\Desktop\>gmt grdimage @earth\_relief\_05m
