[OSM-talk] newbie question related to "ele" (elevation)

[Madhav Vodnala]

There use to be "ele" tag for nodes. 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.

My interest in finding elevation of a given location (lat,lon).

 

What is the best way to find that?

 

Thanks
Madhav
