Thank you very much for the response.  (This isn't the first time I've
found great example data from Finland, by the way.  When I was
experimenting with Lidar data a few years ago I found that Finland's
collection was enormous!)

However, I can't see what you mean by the "R" data.  I selected various
"Map Layers" and downloaded a few random shapefiles and none had "Measured"
geometry (according to ogrinfo).

Thanks for your help.  Sorry if this is a dumb question!
