What are we getting? Unpacking the data from NOAA.

After getting the data from OpenTopography, what do we do with all the goodies?

Newer versions of OCAD can process LIDAR data, and there are other programs such as OL Laser... if you are using OpenOrienteeringMapper, Karttapullautin is a good partner to make your LIDAR data usable. There are command-line options you can tweak... I just run  Karttapullautin without any specs.

It's easy to install. You'll also need LAStools. I install the Karttapullautin .exe file in the Lastools/bin folder.

What to do with all the files generated by Karttapullautin and getting rid of the temp .xyz files which are huge.
