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

[Fabrizio Carrai]

Not an expert, but wouldn't be a better approach to use the DEM data ? Maybe
the accuracy wouldn't be great everywhere but the coverage should be more
extended.

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


  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
