[OSM-talk] Contour lines from SRTM-Data in OSM format

[Christoph Eckert]

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" :) .

Cheers,

ce
