There are 110218 objects in the US alone. The chances are that those buildings are already included (although probably just with generic models). AFAICR the FAA listing includes all buildings over 100m high, and much lower ones when in close proximity to an airport. http://fgfsdb.stockill.org/coverage.php gives you some idea of just how much information we have. -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
