Hi, for Europe, you could also use the EU-DEM ( http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/eu-dem) a hybrid product based on SRTM and ASTER GDEM data fused by a weighted averaging approach = full compatibility with SRTM, but with better data ;) Sylvain 2014-08-28 20:49 GMT+02:00 Peter Barth

Hi all, I created a new challenge for MapRoulette: Fix waterway direction. As the waterway's direction in OSM denotes the direction of the water's flow, I started to compare them to SRTM. This leads to more than 1 million wrong directions for Europe only. Many times SRTM is right, however, due

Not to brag, but New York State is already all done. I mean, there may be one or two mistakes, but when I was entering all of the streams listed in Wikipedia for NY, I set the flow direction properly. So if you have a way to exclude New York, you will have more productive users. -russ Peter Barth
