Special thanks go to Steven Graham and Michael Poschmann for proofreading the documentation, which has grown significantly since version 1.1.
The update has a size of 7.2 MB. It's currently hosted on the Zusi web server by courtesy of Carsten but you access it via the download page on my website.
Main new features of TransDEM Trainz Edition version 1.2 :
- WMS (“Web Mapping Services”) client for automating the cartographic map image acquisition. Compatible servers exist in several countries, e.g. USA, Australia, New Zealand.
- Semi-automatic georeferencing of Google Earth™ images, using “placemarks”.
- DEM shading, DEM based contour lines to ease to enhance DEM visualization.
- Data exchange with GPS devices via .gpx data.
- Many new coordinate systems for Europe, North America and Australia / New Zealand.
- Direct support for USGS NED DEMs in GeoTiff format.
Unfortunately, apart form TransDEM the tools are still German only. However, Oliver Lamm has written a multi-part tutorial for English speaking users some time ago, which illustrates how to use the tools.
