Good free Etopo for Earth is available, referenced to sea levels
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/relief/ETOPO2/
Mars apparently went from spherical to ellipsoid model and DEM is off-line

Anyone into mapping Mars ?
How to predict expected ocean levels after a few Kuiper objects are added ?
If length of Martian day is altered ?

here's a link to a map of Mars terraformed that I made. It's based on real data. I know many people think that the top of Olympus Mons wouldn't have snow because it's too high but according to my calculations that is not so because the martian atmosphere would be much higher (assuming 1 bar surface pressure). Another note is that the image is copy write 2006 so please don't go using it without my permission. Another note is that it's really HUGE!

That's a neat map, but how come its all jagged around the edges? What do you expect the climate to be like with a 1 bar atmosphere?

you see the icecaps, jaggies and all..

Like Rxke said those are polar caps.
as for the weather:
Slightly more extreme temp variations than Earth due to the larger inclination. Less intense weather patterns due to the smaller ocean and less solar energy. Also generally cooler but that depends on a few factors like % of CO2 ect.

Actualy I think are are a bit off in your atmospheric hieght. The atmosphere would twice to three times as thick, but that does not translate into it being higher in elevation. So the great volcanoes would still remain to high for ice to form on them. You need to do just I bit more research I think.

Welcome to New Mars Impulseman! Always good to see a new poster.

Yeah, the higher density atmosphere would only serve to create an atmosphere with the same pressures at the same elevations as Earth, resulting in snowless, uninhabitable mountaintops.
Although I think to make the planet more hospitable, we'll probably try to make an even thicker atmosphere than that, so maybe the map is right. We could always slam comets into the ocean to make it larger, raising the elevation at which the atmosphere starts.
