Thanks for your reply and for the node information where I can see the correct elevation tag. However, I’ve downloaded this area using two methods and neither are including this tag in the data.
The first method was simply to use the Export button on www.openstreetmap.org. There are no parameters to export here other than the extent you want, and so I believe I am simply getting a dump of the data in OSM format (map.osm).
The second method I tried was to download the entire Africa continent from https://download.openstreetmap.fr/extracts/. This downloads in PBF format. I’ve loaded this into a PostgreSQL database.
In order to open either file, I am using QGIS…AddVectorLayer and then opening the Points layer. I simply use the Identify Features tool to query the point representing Uhuru Peak, and can see all the field attributes. ‘Other_tags’ looks to have all the node information except the ‘ele’ tag.
Using pgAdmin4’s SQL Query Tool in the PostgreSQL database also gives the following for this node:
"“website”=>“http://www.kilimanjaroroutes.com/",“name:en”=>“Kilimanjaro”,“natural”=>“peak”,“description”=>"Highest peak in Africa.”,“is_in:country”=>“Tanzania”,“url”=>“http://www.ultimatekilimanjaro.com/index.htm",“name:cs”=>“Kilimandžáro”,“wikipedia”=>"en:Mount Kilimanjaro”,“volcano:status”=>“dormant”,“name:ku”=>“Kilîmanjaro”,“volcano:type”=>“stratovolcano”,“old_name”=>“Kaiser-Wilhelm-Spitze”,“wikidata”=>“Q7296"”
Again, no ‘ele’ tag.
As you said, hopefully someone can see what I’m doing wrong, or test this for themselves.
Thanks.
EDIT: I should have mentioned that this isn’t restricted to just Uhuru Peak. There are no “ele” tags in the entire Africa dataset that I downloaded.
