I'd encourage you to look further into the Mapzen Terrain Tiles: https://mapzen.com/documentation/terrain-tiles/
I ran the most recent update of Terrain Tiles almost immediately before we shut down, so they have fairly recent/modern data in them. Also, they're completely free: Amazon agreed to host them on S3 without any "requester pays" restrictions. You can read more about that here: https://registry.opendata.aws/terrain-tiles/. If you find those don't meet your needs, I'd be interested in hearing why. -Ian On Sat, Nov 3, 2018 at 7:31 AM Nick Whitelegg <nick.whitel...@solent.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi, > > > As part of a couple of projects I'm developing (a modernisation of Freemap > which hasn't seen much attention in recent years, and new work on my Hikar > AR project for walkers; https://gitlab.com/nickw1/Hikar) I'd like to > create SRTM elevation tiles in XYZ tile format.
