[Qgis-user] Geotiff of french topographic maps

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Yves,

I think I managed to select data for download - but woooh - thats way
too expensive for me. Even in Switzerland the scanned maps are much
cheaper (a fraction of the price in France). All the scans of the Island
La Réunion cost several thousand Euros ...

Is there no cheaper data available for private usage (e.g. hiking)? I am
not intending to commercially use the data.

Well - maybe I will just use the Openstreetmap data and forget about the
elevation information ... Or I will scan the maps myself. I bought the
printed maps but I thought it would be fun to use scanned maps with QGIS
on Android - now that the GPS works in QGIS Android.

Thanks if you know any alternatives,
Andreas
