new Landsat, new elevation dataAs posted in the announcements forum, our trusty OnEarth server ceased giving out Landsat and Elevation tiles in the last week. Version 4.8 replaces OnEarth with a different NASA server, and there are some improvements! First, elevation data is global -- before TopoFusion had no elevation data in extreme latitudes (60*+). 3D in Alaska! Second, the Landsat imagery is higher quality, better true color, and still covers the whole world. This is definitely an improvement for non-US users.
We also added the Juicy Trails tileset, which is a very nice rendering of OSM street, topo and (most importantly) trail data. See
http://juicytrails.com for more info, but this is a very nice tileset to have available in TF. Please consider adding trails to the OSM database (which will then be reflected on Juicy Trails, too).
Thanks!
