    Results are
    RESULTS: OpenTopography: 0 |NCALM: 0 |USGS CLICK: 0 |Community Contributed: 0 :(

    Went to Spa too, beside of some generall info (hight accuracy of 100 meters) nothing more :confused:

    well depends how the data was obtained not sure what the hight accuracy is could be the altitude of the plane used for airborne lidar scans. Personally lidar is over kill, send a surveyor to do a topo and you will get just as good data and it would be easier to work with, (as roads go) ISI need a track surveyed? I would love go do it ;)!
