    Which source of data are you looking to use?

    I have used such data, most formats of data are documented on the web, basic DEM data is just a raw bunch of shorts that give the height, just search for the file extension to find out how to decode the data. I got so fed up with messing about with DEM files etc that I wrote a plugin for Max to make life easier and from that did some scripts for Unity to use the data it built or Terragen data, you can see a couple of examples below or on the thread at http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/157815-Real-world-Terrain-test
