Hi checkthegate,

I've spent the best part of today trying to find appropriate DEMs for West Africa from USGS and their three recommended distributors. So far I have been unable to locate anything useful other than a DEM map of the whole of West Africa at 1 pixel = 1km.

I am not helped by being on a neanderthal 56k connection! (and I'm having a bit of a 'numpty' day...).

If anyone can help: I am hoping for a DEM of a small coastal town called 'Joal', Senegal, West Africa. I would love to be able to model the local peninsula as the setting for my project.

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers

PS: I should add that I am not expecting too much: I can see no reason why it would have been height mapped in any detail in the first place ~ its not of any particular interest to the US, and the Senegalese should be concentrating what resources they have on more fundamental issues.....
