Old DEM data
« on: January 15, 2010, 04:33:27 PM »
This arises as a matter of (1) housekeeping and (2) curiosity.
I have a far amount of (now ancient) DEM data in the TF directory designated for that under options/preferences.
Is that merely a legacy setting at this point? ???
Or is that data more detailed than that which is now downloaded concurrently with map data?
Despite my packrat tendencies with data and the tedium I recall going through to acquire it, I could just as easily benefit from cleaning up my TF/GPS installation. ;)
Thanks.

Mostly legacy... however some people do have 10m DEM data stored locally that is better than the 30m data that TF downloads automatically. 

Unless you have bunches of 10m data, I'd say you can delete the whole directory.

I expect I have 10M DEM for the select areas that I did download. WOW! Looking at file dates, that was a long time ago.
Thanks for the clarification AND for evolving TF to the point that those archaic rituals are no longer necessary. :)
