I want the SRTM to work, dont know how to though?

"SRTM
Combining LandSat 7 imagery with Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Data, World Wind can display a dramatic view of the Earth at eye level. Users will literally be able to fly across the world in any direction. "

World Wind requires that you have .NET runtime environment and DirectX installed. You can download .NET runtime environment and DirectX runtime.

this would be your SRTM problem?

A recent server move has disabled the ability to download the Visible and Pseudo color LandSat7 tiles. This issue will be fixed in version 1.3.2

Some places arnt done yet.. like most of kansas isnt done.. but if you zoom in on like say, washinton, its done..

Post by **reefsurfer** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 9:21 pm

Ok, here is how it works.... some cities(washington dc) have photos taken like 30 meters from above... so if u want to see the URBAN view, you go to the button called USGS Urban area, if the citie dont have an upclose pic taken or urban view... you pic the button called NLT Landsat 7 and it will render a shot from a few hundred meters away... so u can still see the town, but its somewhat blurry.

Here is Washington and the white house with URBAN view since it has thoise satellite photos taken upclose:

London dont have an urban photo... so i picked landsat 7 and then u see it like this:
