[OSM-talk] using SRTM contours when editing

Any chance I could have Peru rendered with contours please?

I've been spending quite a bit of time adding lakes in the Peruvian Andes using Yahoo aerial imagery. However I am aware that the resolution of these images doesn't allow for a high degree of accuracy here. It would be fantastic if I could have contours rendered as an alternative to the yahoo imagery, from which I could improve the accuracy of the lake perimeters. I was looking into rendering this myself, but the project never really got off the ground.

Cheers,
Donald
