[Opensim-users] PC vs Mac OS Viewer Issue (with a Solution)

[InuYasha Meiji]

I haven't dowloaded this because I have no intest in someone's SL 
terrain as much as getting real life terrain in my grid.  The only thing 
like that I have seen seems to do a much smallere scale then I am 
looking for.  It uses SRTM data to create a 10% size of the real 
terain.  I wanted a 1:1 scale map.  This is very close though, good job 
to the maker.
