Reminds me of why I wish IGN (French geographical institute) would give their topographical data to OpenStreetMap. (maps without topography lines & points being kind of bad)

@lanodan @00 osm doesn't even truly map topographical info IIRC

there is opentopomap, but that uses NASA data for elevation. OSM only really stores vector data, where you kinda need rasters for elevation.

@ignaloidas Raster for elevation? You mean to do something like a bumpmap? I don't think it needs that much ~samplerate for a map, even hiking ones aren't.

And yeah OSM doesn't really do topography but AFAIK they also have nearly no data to seriously use, like combination of open-licensed and per-sample precise enough.

@lanodan IDK, I think for some deals could be made (e.g. it Lithuania OSM is mapped purely using official 1:10000 ortophoto maps after some talking with national land department, and they also do topographical maps, so definitely a possibility), but it's just that it's hard to map that into OSM and low-res openly accessible elevation info is ok enough (see opentopomap)
