If you're doing visualizations or interactive stuff, it's also FAR better than just importing DEMs and displacing a subsurf plane, for the precisely same reason you can't have a perfectly accurate map on a 2d plane. The BlenderGIS stuff, meanwhile, will always be correcting for those sphere hijinks, so when fresh data comes in it isn't progressively more and more off. Which is precisely what happened to me when I tried to re-create FDR (flight data) on terrain generated from DEMs. The track kept deviating more . . and more . . and more . . even though the latlons were correct. BlenderGIS set me straight, and looked better.
Dang, I'd give my left nipple to do this stuff professionally full time, but whatcha gonna do.
