Downloading MapZen elevation tiles#
Via Tony Hirst I found out about MapZen’s elevation tiles, which encode elevation data in PNG and other formats.
These days they live at https://registry.opendata.aws/terrain-tiles/
I managed to download a subset of them using download-tiles like so:
1download-tiles elevation.mbtiles -z 0-4 \2 --tiles-url='https://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/terrarium/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'I’m worried I may have got the x and y the wrong way round though, see comments on https://github.com/simonw/datasette-tiles/issues/15
