... I need to find some high resolution topography data for the Japan area. I have lots of digital elevation models for the US, especially high res stuff for Cal/Nev. I was playing around with this before Google Maps/Earth came around.

I have global 1 arc minute resolution, bit it still looks grainy. Just found some 30 arc-second resolution. Somehow I doubt there is better easily found. Free, that is.

Funny, I have been interested in mapping since I was a kid. I used to draw maps of islands on my Pee Chee folders. Must have been all those map supplements in National Geographic.
