Can you post some renderings of that data with Kosmos? It's troublesome to run it on Linux and I've never seen what this GTOPO30 data looks like when rendered over Iceland. > Other sources(non-free) for elevation data are the ones at > viewfinderparanormas and the new ASTER GDEM.

You can get that data now elsewhere I believe, at least it's being used for Haiti renderings by some people. > I have been trying to get those two to work with kosmos but without luck > so I would welcome the discussion. It would IMO be more interesting to convert it to .osm, then you could use it with mapnik, import it into PostGIS and generate Garmin maps from it. Kosmos is only a lightweight renderer which won't help with production use cases like that. > Just to clarify, I would like to point out that even though this data is > non-free it is my understanding that no laws will be broken by making > instruction available of how to use this data for local rendering.

There's nothing illegal about posting instructions. > The reason for me to push this is to make hiking maps of Iceland which > are quite useless without a high-resolution elevation set. Note that if you want hiking maps on your Garmin device you can use osm maps + 1944 contour lines from the ourfootprints.de map, this is the setup I use when I'm in Iceland. _______________________________________________ Talk-is mailing list Talk-is@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-is
