This idea, as fine as it is, is not new to the list. The most hindering fact is that there - AFAIK - is no Open implementation of an Open database interface for raster/elevation data. We have PostGIS, an extension to PostgreSQL which enables us to store vectors/shapes/metadata in a database, but a standard for raster data is still missing. I hope Norman will keep us posted in case he has Good News, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
