Caching of Auto-Downloaded DEM Files

[Metzen]

Hi,

I love the new features and improvements in 2.50, they are great!

Is there a plan to cache the auto-downloaded DEM files?

I use TopoFusion on my laptop out in the mountains, where I don't have an internet connection (someday, perhaps...).

It would be nice to be able to view the area at home and auto-download the DEM's, then have those permanently saved so that when I view the area again in the mountains without an internet connection the 3D data is still there.

Another dream item for the wishlist that has sort of been mentioned elsewhere, would be the ability to download DEM data in advance using a tool similar to the download tool for map data where you draw a box and it downloads tilesets.   The ability to draw a box and download DEM data and select which resolution of data to get would be awesome.

Thanks for the hard work!

Glad you enjoy the new stuff.  It took some serious work to get it all rolling.

I'd like to see caching of 3D data at some point, but it will require somewhat of a redesign of the system and implementation of a 3dmaps.dat structure.  So it's a significant chunk of work.  

Although not convenient, you can manually download DEMs for offline use.
