The site you need for the software is

and then you need to download a large amount of terrain data, which is
freely available from NASA. It looks like the way this is handled has
changed since I did it last, so I can't comment on how it is done now.


Hi tom,

I was involved in Beta testing this. The current version allows
dynamic map loading over the Internet, and overlays of Mapquest, Tiger
or many other mapping programs available. I've been using it heavily
for the last few months and its world of variables allows for finely
grained analysis. However, it also allows for massive headaches if
all you are looking for is a simple solution. In short, no
quantifiables are going to follow from your recommendation - unless I
do it. This lil Red Hen isn't interested in cooking that bread.
