Indeed. We don't include true elevation data in OpenStreetMap, though others have shown how to make nice topos. I think this topic has wandered a bit beyond the purpose of the newbies list. As far as I know, nobody is currently using the OSM stack for an OpenMoonMap, etc. Certainly nobody on this list has spoken up about it. I am impressed by the interest in OpenMoonMap shown on this list. May I suggest that those interested in proceeding with this project move the discussion to the talk list? With the broader audience there you may find some additional interested parties. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
