The copy of Sonny's LiDAR Digital Terrain Models of Europe that RouteConverter downloads elevation tiles from is now up to date with Sonny's Europe v25 release.
What's new
What you need to do
Nothing for new areas. When you complete elevation data, RouteConverter downloads the tiles it needs. No new RouteConverter version is required.
Tiles you downloaded before are not replaced automatically. If you want the improved versions, delete the folders sonny1, sonny3 and sonny05 in RouteConverter's application directory (by default .routeconverter in your home directory). RouteConverter then downloads them again when needed.
Thank you, Sonny
Sonny compiles these models in his spare time and gives them away for free. If they improve your tracks, please consider a small donation to Sonny.
