[Mapserver-users] Using Mapserver & GDAL to find elevation

[Ed McNierney]

John -

Is this a proprietary data set, or is it a "commercial" data set that is
in a proprietary format?  That is, might it be possible to get the data
from a different source or in a different format?  Are you absolutely
committed to using these specific data files?

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Using Mapserver & GDAL to find elevation

Hello all,

	I have a project where I need to be able to find the ground
elevation of coordinates on the fly.  The file format we have is
supposedly a proprietary format, but I believe it is close to the
"ArcInfo Binary Grid".  How would I go about finding the elevation using
mapscript (or some other way)?  Will mapserver even read this format (by
way of GDAL/OGR)?

Thanks!
