Yes, I do have it. Bittorrent would be nice, but it's over 600 GB, so just seeding it once would probably put me over my ISP's bw quota (and/or clog my intertubes for weeks!). :( The lower resolution (1 arc-second) version isn't _as_ huge, so that could possibly work. Then again, that isn't much improvement over SRTM. -- Lars Ahlzen l...@ahlzen.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
