There is a small shell script on the OSM wiki, combined with a few GIS tools can be used to import data at various contour intervals into pgsql. There is other tools which I'm still to play with that can provide hill shading relief. So far I imported 10m intervals + a single 2m contour that seems like it might be useful to map currently unmapped islands, I still need to add this as a slippymap custom tile URL in JOSM and play with it further... > GA data does have a ? over the licensing. The GA site is licensed using GA also has a 1 second set of SRTM data that has been adjusted to fix it for vegetation problems, but it's listed as government use only. > I thought I noticed a while back that Nearmap was planning on doing some > stuff in the DEM space, so maybe they'll have something down the track? If and when they do, it'll still only be a relatively small area of under 2% the surface area of Australia. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
