Review text

The enormous amount of data required to model geographic features in detail suggests that only the places of current interest should be modelled at high precision and all surrounding regions by approximations that show only the general features. The authors present a program that selects necessary data points for varying tolerances at different regions of an original picture. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0863.00021].
