The French mapping service is starting to do HD LIDAR captures of the whole of France, and some of them are already available: https://geoservices.ign.fr/lidarhd (At the bottom)

I'd be curious to know if you plan to include these in your app at some point in the future?

Thanks for all the work you did on Shademaps!

For sure. Appreciate the link.

My main roadblock now is that my fiancé is off for the summer (she's a teacher) so we're outside a lot and it's also hard to find the LiDAR datasets online.

I think the Washington one has been out for a while but I didn't know it existed until a few weeks ago.

I'll probably do an ASK HN for LiDAR datasets at some point and hope we can crowdsource as much data as we can.
