Use of USGS Data or SRTM Data are we CLOSE?

I thought I would post this question to see if anyone is close to having available a program that would use USGS Data rather than MAPS for example that as most are outdated as to city and transportation areas, not to mention time required to draw them. Minor arera editing is not much work, but trying to cover multiple 1 degree areas is rather time consuming. Most of the talk as on STRM data that would contain all data for all areas of texture as well as the elevation information. Just a thought!Richard;
