Canary Islands offers fresh LiDAR as LAZ tiles in online shop (1 Euro each)

[Martin Isenburg]

Hello,

the Municipal Government Agency (GRAFCAN) has added significant
amounts of new LiDAR data to their online shop. It seems all of their
higher-density 2011 LiDAR campaigns across five of the seven Canary
Islands are now available in their online shop for 1 Euro per 500
meter by 500 meter tile and all of the new 2011 LiDAR is provided in
LAZ format.

The islands are El Hierro, La Gomera, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and
Lanzarote with an average density of 1.2 points/square meter. The new
LiDAR for the 5 islands is available as 19.755 LAZ tiles which due to
compression is only 34 GB ... so go ahead and buy your favorite
island ... (-;
