  1. Anyone who has bought the Tracklogs software for any part of the UK (not
    sure about the free demo package) has the OS digital elevation model for
    the whole UK (EnhancedElevationModel.pkg). Turns out it is trivially
    easy to rip this into the 56 100Km squares of the national grid, and
    turn it into .BMP files, and feed those into Ozi explorer. No roads or
    any other features, just height. For my next trick I'm going to figure
    how to turn it into contours (although the resolution is 100*100m, which
    is actually worse than the free SRTM data you can get from NASA ..
    however the OS data has sea level sorted out correctly (mostly) and is
    on a nice square grid.

    I have an Excel /Visual Basic program which does that, if anyone is
    interested (it violates copyright to ship the elevation .pkg data around
    between people, but I don't see that 'fair use' should preclude you from
    unwinding one you've bought a license for. 8>.)

    Well...it was a bit wet/windy for walking today (at least for us wimps).
