Hi Phil, [OS OpenData DEM in .hgt format] Actually would you be able to send me the files when I have a free moment, so I can check that they are what I need? Would you be happy if I made them available for download to the OSM community in general? I know at least one other person has

I can't remember very well back to when they were imported, but I think I was uncertain about them. I'm afraid that for the past couple of years my involvement with OSM has been very limited due to time constraints... it has long been my intention to review the success and uptake of the naptan

[Talk-GB] Incorrect use of OS VectorMap District when mapping?
