Hi Anita,<br><br>Thanks for your quick reply. <br>I used to use the raw SRTM files you pointed out, but since I saw this plugin, I was curious and tried it.<br>I think the author's aim was to make it easy to get the data corresponding to your project extent for you : no need to go to some webpage, choose the right file, etc.<br>
I guess before Qgis raster OTF reprojection, it maked also sense to let the plugin reproject the data in your project SRS.<br><br>This is why I was a bit surprised discovering it converted srtm into vector.<br><br>Michael<br>

<div><font>These SRTM hgt files can be opened as rasters directly. No need for SRTMImport plugin.<br></font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font><a href="http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM3/" target="_blank">http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM3/</a><br>

<br>Anyone confirms ?<br><br>By the way, it could be good to create a raster layer instead of a vector layer, or provide an option to choose the format.<br><br>Michael<br>
