  I seriously doubt you could fit the whole USA in 30-meter format in 65
meg. I have the whole USA in 90-meter res, compressed on my hard drive and
it's over 1GB. But I'm not content, I want all of Mars, Venus and the Moon
too. ;)

  Call us (Questar Productions, makers of World Construction Set) at
303-659-4028. We can get you the 90-meter data (also available for ftp
from the USGS) or the 30-meter data (that I've never found available for
ftp).

  I've found the 30-meter data to be expensive, but we purchase it in
large quantities and resell it for a reasonable price. We'll even sell
to VistaPro owners. ;)

  Yeah, I wish it were as freely available as the 90-meter data.

  I have a few ftp/www sites for USGS stuff that I'll mention here, but
again I believe they only have the 90-meter data, and I don't think VP
will load that, only the 30-meter data.

  ObWCSPlug: When you get bored with VistaPro, buy World Construction Set.
We load almost everything under the sun. You won't be disappointed. Ask
anyone on the list who owns it. I'll shut up now.
