problem with microdem "set Map pixel size"
#12

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!
