Helen et al,
You should be able to download them as "asc" files which come with MapInfo tab files - careful though as trying to load too many at a time will crash the
system (or it does with me anyway).
Mike Hemblade at North Lincs also showed me how to get them to show up better by turning on relief shadows - open the "Map" drop down menu, then select
"modify thematic map" click on the "styles" button and enable the relief shading. You can also change the tolerance/level of the shading and the colours to make certain features stand out more (or less) which is useful when a tile has big topographical differences.
Hope that helps,
Hugh

A few people have asked me about how this works…
You sign up as a Public Sector organisation, choose what you want, then when you go to ‘pay’ at the checkout you check the ‘non-commercial use’ box and enter a reason you want it (I have been putting ‘assessment against Historic
Environment Record’ in that box) then it gives you a 100% discount!
They have to approve it, then e-mail you back, then you can download it straight from the site.
Brilliant!

Hi everyone,
Have been having fun downloading free LIDAR from Geomatics, but I wondered if anyone could tell me know I can open jpgw files in Mapinfo?
If anyone hadn’t realised (like me) that you could get free LIDAR, you can download it from here:
Thanks!
