HI Gerd
I don't think conversion is wrong. If input geotiff file is 24MB, output hgt file is 24 MB, if input tiff is 12MB, output hgt is 12MB
I use this command on Linux:
for i in *.tif ; do gdal_translate -strict -q -eco -of SRTMHGT $i `basename $i tif`hgt ; done ; rm -f *.hgt.aux.xml
BTW, gdal is also able to deal with small SRTM files

Hi Carlos,

so your conversion routine is wrong. The file size is 12.970.802 bytes. There 
is no integer n for which 2 * n^2 results in this value.

Hi Gerd
Forgot to mention files are downloaded as geotiff, but I then convert
them to hgt, sorry.
You can download a sample one from
https://alternativaslibres.org/tmp/N50E118.hgt

Hi Carlos,

are you talking about geotiff format? I think someone documented how that 
format can be converted to *.hgt.
Can you post a link to such a file?

Gerd

Hi Gerd
They are downloaded by phyghtmap. This is what I found digging into
phyghtmap files:
|def getSRTMFileServer(self, resolution, srtmVersion):||
||        if srtmVersion == 2.1:||
||            return
"https://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM{0:d}".format(resolution)||
||        elif srtmVersion == 3.0:||
||            if resolution == 1:||
||                urlRe =
"https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/download/8360/SRTM1{:s}V3/GEOTIFF/EE";||
||            elif resolution == 3:||
||                urlRe =
"https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/download/4960/SRTM3{:s}V2/GEOTIFF3/EE";||
||            return urlRe|
They should come from the second URL above.

Hi Carlos,

sorry for the late response. I found no hint on the phyghtmap page 
http://katze.tfiu.de/projects/phyghtmap/
regarding a new format for srtm data. The hgt format is not compressed. Do you 
know from where these 12.4 MB files came from?

Gerd

An: Development list for mkgmap
Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] "Small" SRTM1 files and DEM maps

I use phyghtmap to build contour lines and also to download hgt data
that I then use to build DEM maps with mkgmap. For a long time, SRTM1
files (and also VFP1) have all been ~24.7 MB in size, but lately (I
don't remember since when) SRTM1 are also served as 12.4 MB files.
phyghtmap is able to generate contour lines from those small files, as
they seem to contain the same information but with a different
compression ratio, but mkgmap fails to read them, and report them as
missing. Would it be possible to get support for such files in mkgmap?
