<p>Hello all</p>
<p>I want to process SRTM1 data from Earthexplorer using <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/">mkgmap</a>,
an open source software to build Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap
data. Currently, earthexplorer serves SRTM1 data as *.tiff files
of 3601x3601x2=24,7 MB, but also as files of half that size. I use
gdal to convert *.tiff to *.hgt, as mkgmap is not able to read
*.tiff.</p>
<p> These smaller files seem to contain the same information and
gdal is able to convert them to *.hgt files without problems, in
the same way than standard size ones, but mkgmap fails to read the
small hgt files. Given gdal "understands" these small srtm files,
could you give me some clue on how it is done, so that developers
of mkgmap can add this capability?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any help</p>
<p>Carlos<br>
