[Marble-devel] SRTM Tiles

[Torsten Rahn]

Hi,

Great effort!
I just looked at the data quickly using a browser and figured that the data
seems to be the original SRTM data (with or without error corrections) which 
naturally lacks 

* areas above a latitude of 60 Degrees north and no Antarctica (so no Finland, 
parts of Canada are missing and Sarah Palin can't see Russia on those tiles)

* bathymetry ("ocean floor") is missing

Such a (much lower res) compilation of different data sources with SRTM data 
is used in Marble's Atlas map view. 

So ideally in the future we'd have that added to the data so that we can reuse 
this data for an improved version of Marble's Atlas or Satellite View. 

BR,
Torsten
