CE, I am interested to get Phiilippine contours in img http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=12.24&lon=122.07&zoom=6&layers=B000FTF cheers, maning On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 8:00 AM, Christoph Eckert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have used srtm2osm (all credits to Igor Brejc) to convert srtm data into OSM > contour lines.

Re: [OSM-talk] Contour lines from SRTM-Data in OSM format
I believe srtm2osm uses void filled data that is copyrighted. So is you do distribute the results make sure that you specify it's only for academic research. IANAL. I used srtm2osm to make an OSM file of over 1 GB and played around with it in gosmore. Distributing gosmore files that include srtm contours will be pretty cool especially for hiking. But making a setup that uses the PD data and does not exceed the 420MB limit on WinCE will take some effort.

[OSM-talk] Contour lines from SRTM-Data in OSM format
Hi, I have used srtm2osm (all credits to Igor Brejc) to convert srtm data into OSM contour lines. All tiles are zippes in zip format and the complete world consumes 61G of disk space. See some example at [1]. I have some questions so far: * I have no clue if there's some interest in the data, but if so, what would be the best method to distribute it? I thought about Bittorrent, but I have no clue if it is sufficient if there only are a couple of downloaders. * OSM2Navit just crashes when I try to convert the tiles for Navit. So if someone knows a little bit more about C than me... ;-) * One further usage of the data was to convert it as Garmin tiles, using a transparent background. This way, the data could be used in conjunction with openstreetmap, well, maps :) . I do not use such maps on Garmin, but if someone fiddles out how to do it best, we surely can run a script again. * If someone needs an individual tile, "do not hesitate to drop me a line" :) .
