Hi everyone...

I have some question on .dem file

currently i trying to create my own map using the mircodem -> mdem4ter -> Wilbur   -> Wrp Editor

I'm wondering if i can create my own .dem file?
so that i could have my own map???

If it possible can anyone teach me how to do it or is there any tutorial for the mircodem ?


Another question regarding the process of creating the map.
Must i follow the whole process?

Is there any easy way to create my own map?

 :help:
thank you...

Yes you can with microdem or Global Mapper
http://www.globalmapper.com/
(but you really need the registered version to be able to do anything fun) AstalaVista... ;D

R2V is also a nice tool if you want to convert a paper map...

(but you really need the registered version to be able to do anything fun) OverNet  ;D

Also have a look at http://www.vterrain.org/ loads of stuff on terrain modelling (not
op:fs related but...)

And a nice tutorial on how to extract dem data from a scanned paper map..
