Hi

I have been trying to get a map of southwest Greenland without success and I can not find it anywhere except from downloadables files where you can gather the file maps together to one pieces and I do not know how.
Anyone know how to do that?

Why do you ask here? It is over one year you are asking on xcsoar forum. What are you doing here?

Ah ok. But the reason is the one already explained on the forum there, I think.
For the DEM map I mean!

Cool - thanx.
Just want to know if somebody had been in the same situation and what solution they made. So any idea how to make a map over southwest greenland to use the map in LK8000?

Max, the problem with DEM maps is that they were made by a Shuttle aircraft years ago, and the Shuttle did not fly over Greenland as I remember to have read somewhere.
Are there many hills and mountains in Greenland? Just asking.

Hi, previously maps for Norway north of 60 degrees N were not available, both for xcsoar and Lk8000. Somehow it was eventually made available for LK8000 (don't knowabout XCS). I don't know if these issues are related? What was the solution for >60 degrees N?

Hi Coolwind, thannx for the answer. yes we have a lot of mountains, hills, fjords and it could be similar to Norway.
There is a website with DEM map files also for greenland, but there are many files that had to be gathered together to make one piece of a map file - what application should I use to make one map file?
