Thought you might like this......
Forging on with the 5th total rework of my Denmark map :roll: I decided to take a rather more firm approach to SRTM data and MicroDEM.
Found this site http://www.wasp.dk/Support/FAQ/Maps/SRTM2MAP.html
Followed the link to NASA's ftp server ftp://e0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/version2/
EDIT ----------------------
ftp link is the same as in ClockWatcher's tutorial, seems it just has been off-line and is now up again.
-----------------------------
As noted SRTM1 covers North America (Real Hi-res) while SRTM3 cover the rest of the globe (Hi-res)
Data is stored in zipped .hgt files and named using long/lat of lower left pixel.
.hgt files can be merged with MicroDEM and saved as a DEM file for further use.
The REALLY GOOD thing is ...... pixel size works as in ClockWatcher's tutorial and the map is projected correctly!
See scaled down (1:16) of the map_c, the detail is incredible in full scale!
