Great thanks for making the time.

No, but the good news is that I’ve finally started to work on GT code.

I’ve noticed these kinds of errors myself. I will have to take day or two to get back to GroundTruth code and try to fix this.

The groundtruth program seems ideal to add contourmaps. However, running the groundtruth for dummies example give a connection error to the server. I presume it is not a firewall problem ast the contour map (.ibf) gets through. I reloaded net3.5, but that did not help.

I am just curious if Aster data starting to be useful with version 2. Just now I am trying convert Aster tif files to hgt to use them in SrtmCache folder instead of original srtm.hgt files.

For me would be using Aster data great improvement , because Patagonia having a lot of holes in srtm data.

I’ve written a few lines about this in FAQ: http://maperitive.net/docs/manual/FAQ.html#Commercial%20Licensing%20And%20Support

So the general answer is “yes”. In theory you could do it all by yourself (by simply using .NET Reflector to analyze the Maperitive code), provided you do not distribute Maperitive binaries to 3rd parties for commercial purposes (so you could run it on your own server for free, for example).

If, however, you need a proper support & documentation for the API, then I guess the “thrusting cash into hands” part is an option

I haven’t done any new work on GroundTruth for a long time. Any new functionality will probably be added in Maperitive, which already supports custom DEMs like ViewFinder: http://maperitive.net/docs/manual/Commands/SetDemProvider.html
