I believe the elevation data is better and the airports are more accurate both in existence and configuration. I have gained the impression that Chris's problems with the river and mine with the northern end on NZWN maybe, in atleast partly, due to the use of triangular tiles and the integration of landcover into this triangular format. Separating out the landcover into a separate layer that can support curves etc is alot more pleasing to the eye. As you point out, Martin's landcover database shows this most adeptly. I enjoy the new scenery alot more than the previous 098 scenery because of the improvements in elevation and airports. If there is the same quantum advance in the new scenery, I'll be very happy.
