Hi Jason,

Maybe Jon has hit the point - try 3 instead of 1 ;=)) thanks,
Jon...

And I think the 'new' location of the data is :-

NASA_WGET="ftp://e0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/version2/SRTM3/Australia";

But I have found a MISSING DEM block. I tried to do
Sydney, but found no S40E150 on the above FTP site

I found -
OZSET="S31E150 S31E151 S31E152 S31E153 S32E150 S32E151 \
S32E152 S32E153 S32E159 S33E150 S33E151 S33E152 S34E150 \
S34E151 S35E150 S35E151 S36E150 S37E150 S38E150"

But could not find data for say S40E150???

My only alternative was to switch to using GLOBE data...

Cut from my makesyd script...
# (b) Try USGS DEM files
USEUSGS=1   # DEM data
# source =
http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/products/elevation/gtopo30/gtopo30.html

USGS_URL="http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/gtopo30/global/";
USGS_MIRROR="http://www1.gsi.go.jp/geowww/globalmap-gsi/gtopo30/data/global/";

#
OZ_USGS="http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/gtopo30/global/e140s10.tar.gz";

If you find any other (free) DEM/SRTM data for OZ, I would 
be most interested...

Regards,

Geoff.

PS: You can get my full makesyd script from :-
 http://geoffair.net/tmp/makesyd 
but it requires you have VMAP0 in a specific directory, but
maybe you are not using VMAP0... and be aware it FAILS.
See my developing page -
