Hi everyone,

the days of using our broken terrain generator are finally over!
We have created a set of pregenerated maps for almost all the important
gliding areas. The maps are based on the LK8000 maps and therefore
use the same topology, that is taken from the the OpenStreetMap project
(http://www.openstreetmap.org). You can download the maps from the
following webpage:

  http://www.xcsoar.org/download/maps/

Here is a short feature list of our map files:

  - Use of GeoJP2 format for terrain information
  -> much faster then plain DEM

  - Use of OpenStreetMap data for topology information
  -> more accurate highways, rivers, cities, ...
  -> Correct city names (compared to vmap0, which we used before)
  -> Basic population-based drawing priority for city names

Have fun with the maps!

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly 
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms. Sign up for the Lotus
