People refer to them by different names, but the "Landsat 7 images"
are really the GeoCover product, and are available from both
NASA and GLCF:
https://zulu.ssc.nasa.gov/mrsid/
http://www.glcf.umiacs.umd.edu/portal/geocover/

There are two 'vintages' of the images - those collected
around 1990, which are at 28.5 meters/pixel resolution,
and those collected around 2000, which are at 14.25
meters/pixel(because they were pan-sharpened).
The coverage differs somewhat between the two datasets,
and the file size is four times larger for the 2000 dataset.

Use an image viewer that supports exporting a subset of the
full MrSid image, complete with geo-referencing data.
Lizardtech's MrSid Geoviewer(which is discontinued, but
still can be found on the net) can export to GeoTiff,
which OziExplorer can import.

Only by converting the image to OziExplorerCE's native
OZF format(i.e. by using the Img2Ozf program), or by
converting to ECW format, which is supported by the
latest development version of OziExplorerCE.

Again, thank you for the answer.
I am trying to find N-48-20. So far, I can only find the low
resolution ie 60 MB. Is there a hidden folder with 15m resolution for
this N-48-20 (approx 220 MB)
Appreciate any response.
