That's probably the optimum solution.  What is the data source for the 
SDTS?  I found one reference that indicated the data was in a DEM?

I have a plan in mind for a script to generate a grid of Tiger .gif and 
.geo files so I can download them to the laptop.  If I have time I'll 
try it out tonight.

I'd seen that page before, but it's been a while.  The DF features 
would have been particularly useful last weekend, when the battery for 
the GPS died well before the payload touched down.
