I don't think rounding or interpolating will deliver any better results. If you have 1" .hgt files, you get an altitude value every 30m. With 3" .hgt files much worse, every 90m. In the mountains, between 2 points may be a big wall with some 100m height-difference. So if you have small deviations in lat/lon, you will evtl. get very false elevation values.
If you interpolate altitude-values, you calculate wrong values by design :-( May be I'm wrong, but this is my theory. lg Peter Am 10.01.2018 um 17:39 schrieb Gerd Petermann:
Hi Andrzej, if you want to try this: you can easily change the code in interpolatedHeight to return the height in feet, just make sure that you don't convert UNDEF. The only other change that is needed is in this line in DemHeader: writer.putInt(0); // 0: elevation in metres, 1: foot well, the comment should say feet , not foot Gerd ________________________________________ Von: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-boun...@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> im Auftrag von Frank Stinner <frank.stin...@kabelmail.de> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 10.

For algorithm that'a only numbers, it does not matter. The questions is, how exact are the hgt-values. We don't know that, but i don't believe it is +-1m or so. I'm not wondering, when the hgt's have +-5m or +-10m. The copernicus-data have +-7m and i don't believe the technic was worse. That's why feets are overkill. The numbers are 3 times greater, that's why the dem's are greater. It's not worth it.
