If we're talking NASA SRTM DEM data then the non-USA stuff is 3 arc
seconds, which is just about 90m (worst case .. rather less East/West as
you get away from the equator). USA data is 1 arc second.

I'm currently working on dial up and it is difficult to load those
pages quickly.

If I look at S. Philippines, the island I am concerned with shows only
about 30 or 40 elevations total for something that is about 25 miles
by 5 to 10 miles wide - I can do better than that manually from GE in
much less than a year of free time, hahaha.

I don't suppose the resolution is consistent worldwide, is it?

Maybe I'm not looking at the right data - too hard to tell. Maybe
I'll revisit these pages on a faster link somewhere.
