Not an expert, but wouldn't be a better approach to use the DEM data ? Maybe the accuracy wouldn't be great everywhere but the coverage should be more extended.

I exported a small area into an OSM file today and I do not see "ele" tag anymore. Is that removed?. I saw some discussions around non usefulness of that tag. http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=403 My interest in finding elevation of a given location (lat,lon). What is the best way to find that? Thanks Madhav
