[Qgis-user] free DEM data in QGis

[Torsten Lange]

Hi!

I'm novice to use free DEM data. I work on a medium (~60km) scale area in 
Germany. It's basically about geology. As don't need accurate DEM data for the 
time being I read through google that gtopo30 or (even better ?) DTED data 
from German Aerospace Center may be utilized, which are all free of charge.

Actually I don't know where to start. Could anyone please give some comments 
about how would be the general procedure to load those data into QGis? Useful 
links are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Torsten
