Add support for global elevation data for non-US regions #219

Closed novalis closed 13 years ago

novalis commented 13 years ago

The most complete and accurate publicly available data seems to be SRTM 2: http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/

novalis commented 13 years ago

SRTM has resolution of 90 meters (3 arcsecond), which is probably not useful for bicycling. We are already having problems with 10 meter resolution data.

Do you know if there is higher resolution elevation data available for your region?

Also, if you already have a geotiff file of data for your region, there is already support for loading it.

Replying to [comment:2 novalis]:

If the best available global data are not usable and there is already support for local datasets then I think we can close this ticket. Thanks for clarification and sorry for the noise.
