Converting it into an isosurface (by some kind of "cross-approximation" 
- has this ever been done?) to get an infinitely zoomable smooth surface 
would be thrilling... I dream of doing the very same with my 
heightfields generated from SRTM data or even topographic maps - but the 
  necessary math would be as mind-blowing as CPU-choking...

See you in Khyberspace!
