  Nope it doesn't not, requires Edge or Chrome. Feels like IE wars again.

It has already been done for England too[0] (although the abstract says 'over 70% of England' so some parts must be missing). I think someone made a Minecraft map out of the current data, will be interesting to see what is made from the update.

  The Ordnance Survey converted their mapping data to a Minecraft world: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/innovate/developers/minecraft-map-britain.html https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/innovate/developers/minecra...

  Not sure if this is the same map you're talking about, but Ordinance Survey made a map[0] using data they had in 2013, and then again in 2014. This was based on height data at 50m resolution. It's hard to see how OS capture height exactly, I imagine via aircraft[1]. Not sure whether they are the source of the existing data the Environment agency has; I doubt it as their data has a max resolution of 5m while the government's is 1m.

    Most of the OS terrain data is now from pairs of aerial photos using photogrammetry. The older products were actually based on contours that were surveyed using more traditional techniques.

So we are back to the IE6 days, I am supposed to open specific pages on specific browsers. 2017 is so retro, I wonder if I will be able not to use Chrome in 2018.

  I guess it'll be just like the good old days with Firefox 1.5.

Done in Spain as well, free to download (RGB-colored .laz), but no online 3D viewer: http://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/buscadorCatalogo.do?codFamilia=LIDAR http://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/buscadorCat...
