Hi Adam,

With further experimentation it seems that 32767 does seem to be the correct
value for the -srcnodata option. I've also found that if I omit the
-dstnodata option from the gdalwarp command the black holes do not appear,
presumably because the void data is then not included in the reprojected
image.

I've created a hillshade image using the NASA SRTM3 data following the
notes at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HikingBikingMaps. Looks great
except for the occasional 'black hole' in the image, I expect this is due
to data voids not being rendered correctly.
What's got me puzzled about this is that the wiki page suggests using a
value of 32767 for the -srcnodata and -dstnodata options to gdalwarp,
howver in the NASA docs
(http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/Documentation/Quickstart.pdf) it
says data voids are assigned the value -32768.
Should I be using the NASA value for -srcnodata and -dstnodata instead?
Thanks for working this out! Maybe you can correct the wiki page?
I wrote that Wiki page, and I just remember that at that time (a year ago)
the interpretation was unclear for me. I remember having some problems and
experimenting; but in my region, there are no voids, so I might not have
found the right solution at that time. And I remember encountering "black
holes" later on in other regions (thinking there is no way around having
them, without setting them explicitly to some arbitrary value), as well.
I will try out your suggestions in a few days myself (and might update the
page afterwards, if you have not done so then) ...
Thanks,
Holger
