File:Terrain merge 20080320.jpg

Not strictly a screen shot, this image represents the initial merge of site terrain at OpenSim-standard 1-meter grid postings, on top of 10-meter terrain commonly available for US sites from the US Geological Survey. The coarse 10-meter terrain makes unsightly stair-steps in an OpenSim region. A blog posting at http://blog.simgis.com/2008/03/ describes one approach to overcoming this, and thus making a great deal of public terrain data usable inside OpenSim regions intended to model real-world sites.
