Hi Anita, Thanks for your quick reply. I used to use the raw SRTM files you pointed out, but since I saw this plugin, I was curious and tried it. I think the author's aim was to make it easy to get the data corresponding to your project extent for you : no need to go to some webpage, choose the right file, etc. I guess before Qgis raster OTF reprojection, it maked also sense to let the plugin reproject the data in your project SRS.
This is why I was a bit surprised discovering it converted srtm into vector. Michael 2012/6/8 Anita Graser <[email protected]> > These SRTM hgt files can be opened as rasters directly.
