[talk-au] Proposed Data import - Queensland, Australia: Peaks and Mountains

[Christopher Barham]

Hi Simon,

Ref Elevation data for mountain nodes, 
Following your question, I realised that the height should be available from the NASA SRTM datasets; so have just tried to add it to the peaks/mountains nodes as an ele tag in metres.
Have added a section to the wiki import proposal page on adding the ele tag with values from SRTM here: http://bit.ly/1lNmCyN

Test output file of the result is here (mountains with heights) : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/446994/osmQldPeaks/test_with_srtm.osm

currently the ele values are floats, so I'll add a manual step to round the metres from floats to integers before any import.

Cheers,
Chas

There would be manual review required before uploading, especially to ensure we do not duplicate the existing ~500 nodes, but feel it could be worth it as we are unlikely to get the data any other way for the more remote parts of the state.
