Hi all, I have downloaded the free Ordinance Survey data and have managed to convert the height data and raster data using gdal_translate. Everything works brilliant when the option --geocentric is omitted. Once --geocentric is included osgdem finished within about 20 seconds my planet now looks like a sphere with bobbles attached, almost like a leather football. I am sure it's something to with the data and the format it is in, here is gdalinfo of my converted data (excluding colour data). Does anyone know how I should convert it over so I can get a whole earth, I am guessing it's something to do with the format although osgdem reprojects the data when --geocentric is included? Using the latest SVN as of last Friday. The OS data is the best FREE data I have come across so far, although I am sure there must be higher resolution height data.
