[GRASS-user] NASA to release no cost 30m DEMs with world-wide coverage on 29 June

[Micha Silver]

Thanks, Michael. That's great news.
What do you make of the 20 m./30 m. vertical/horizontal accuracy statement?
Isn't SRTM supposed to be around 15 m. vertical and <10 m. horizontal 
(even tho' it's 90 m. resolution)?

Regards,
Micha
