The Landcover DB (database) was a web service/server that used to provide GIS data (mainly shapefiles and elevation data) via a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database behind the MapServer and Scenemodels websites [1] for use by FlightGear-related tools like TerraGear and TerraGear GUI to help create scenery. For the time being, the service has been discontinued [2] (i.e. is no longer operational [3])

Various more or less complete attempts at re-creating this infrastructure have been discussed/attempted meanwhile [4]
