Is it possibly to remove the existing shapefile for a certain area from the landcover DB? Perhaps the UK landcover generated by Jon via openstreetmap.org could be kept seperately until more or less complete and then used to generate UK scenery. Interestingly, I did a bit of poking around the openstreetmap documentation and it does actually provide for defining areas such as woodland/built-up/lakes etc. Further to this amateur cartography, it might be interesting to try to start a 'community' of people in the UK who can use a GPS to map their local area - maybe 150 or so 'adventurous' cartographers could get the majority of the UK's road layout done in a year or so (being a small island ;) ) _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
