[Gdal-dev] SRTM data and GDAL

[Ben Discoe]

Vincent,

Also, it is no longer necessary to acquire and mosaic the raw SRTM
tiles, since the seamless server (http://seamless.usgs.gov/ and click
"International") lets you specify the exact area you want and download
it as an ArcInfo grid which reads right into GDAL easily.
