European Data Similar to USGS Available for AutoASM?

Hello,Has it been established if there are any free(ish?) sources of road/river data, similar in detail to that provided by USGS, available for Europe that can be used in AutoASM?

Re-reading my question, I'm not sure if I explained it properly.I know you can use Terrascene to download digital data for roads, rivers etc from USGS. I also know that this can be used to produce a bitmap that can be used for projects in AutoASM. I also know that Terrascene has the ability to download data for other parts of the world but with much less detail than the USGS data (Have others found this non US data useful when creating scenery for FS?). However, I was wondering if anybody had found a link that provided world wide (or just European) data to a similar scale as USGS, either free or for a small charge.Victor

Thanks Horst I'll check that out. Why is it, whatever the information, the Americans are so far ahead of us Europeans in public access?!
