Still working on my Denmark map. Not satisfied with the STRM3 coastlines using MicroDem, I'm currently fixing up the coastlines using Google maps as a reference. Results are stunning, very detailed and realistic coastlines, lakes and rivers are possible. However, since Google maps uses a Mercator projection the vertical distortion is clearly visible when comparing to my STRM3 based map_c, the Denmark map being quite large.

I've used WDS 1984 Datum in MicroDem, could this be the problem (not being a cartographer)? Is it possible to do a Mercator projection in MicroDem (which would be ok for an IL2 map)

All help most welcome.

Since a few months, they updated STRM data files to version 4, and now when merging, i use only NAD84

For coastlines, I used HGT files to make some maps Sinai, Hokkaido, Egypt... and I found that I got a better result with coasts...
