You make it sound as if there is not much that can be done on the terrain side of things and all there is to do is create objects to put in that terrain. Is that true? If you need an extra programmer for the "infrastructure" you speak of, I am also willing to help there, as I program in c++ for a living. > We _have_ coastline data that should be pretty exact, but our landuse > data does not match very well.

Doctoring the data probably does make it look a little better, but at the same time, major dispcrepancies also look pretty bad.
