[OSM-talk] contours on main map

[elvin ibbotson]

I too would like to see SRTM elevational data in OSM - possibly  
optional in the UI - and preferably using colours rather than just  
contours. I posted an initial proposal in the wiki some weeks ago. I  
don't have much data, but I suspect contours add a big data load, but  
producing coloured bitmaps from SRTM sources is not difficult and  
these could be used as backgrounds to the rendered OSM data.
