Getting elevation by coordinates

General talk
1

Hi all!

Is there any source I can use to get the elevation of a given point (identified by coordinates)?
Currently I use an API from Google-Maps, but I want to use own data. I already got the rendering of the tiles and getting the town name by coordinates.
Unfortunately I didn’t found any attribute in the OSM tables with the elevation…

Thank you for your suggestions!
Luca

OSM doesn’t have elevation data in its database. Only a smal amount of notes have a "ele“ tag.

If you see maps using OSM with elevation data (EDM, e.g. SRTM) they use another source.

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open-Elevation

This is absolutly what I’m looking for! I’d like to install it on my own server, but…
Is the project currently supported? I see in GitHub the last commit is 3 years ago and getting the dataset returns a 404…

Thanks
Luca
