[TCMUG] OpenTopography Portal

[Ian Dees]

Hi Tim,

Would it be possible to acquire as much of this high-res LiDAR data as
possible? Does this data already exist in NED? We could use it to create
simplified TopOSM maps for people in the field that don't have a high-speed
net connection and just want to see a Google Maps-style map of their area.

Some more information about TopOSM (along with some screenshots) is
available here:
