Birger,

I don't know for a fact, but I think they use the STRM-1 data where it 
is available.  Also, TerraGear has a reasonable fit of the terrain data 
that may be adjusted using terrafit.py.   This gives a baseline which is 
later merged in with the tgvpf data (tgvpf seems fairly fixed resolution 
at the moment).  Increasing the polygon count seems fairly easy using 
parameters to *both* terrafit.py and tgvpf.

Hope this helps.  Let me know how it works out for you.
