Import SRTM DEM | ![]() |
Imports a tile of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation model at 1 arc second resolution.
If a requested tile is not found in the SRTM Folder specified in the Settings, then it will download the tile from the Consultative Group for International Agriculture Research (CGIAR) - Consortium for Spatial Information (CSI).
Since the SRTM height information is referred to geoid EGM96, not WGS84 ellipsoid, correction has been applied to obtain height relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid.
Note the DEM does not provide data over most of the Middle East.
