Hi All,
I'm glad to announce that functionality is ready to test, please pay attention to 

Right now you need to enable plugin "SRTM data" (we need to put description there, for english version as well) and go to "Download Manager" there in menu you can select other downloads and "SRTM files". 
I think the plugin will be distributed as a different apk (as Parking Plugin right now) and it will be more descriptive. 
Also clear separation will help us branching application. However application is still monolithic in sense that all code is present in OsmAnd.


Best Regards,
Victor

Hi!

 I like it!

Fine graded download, easily selectable.

I'm looking forward to the SRTM files with the data from CGIAR
("WE ARE CONFIDENT THIS IS NOW THE HIGHEST QUALITY SRTM DATASET AVAILABLE")

Good luck, Yves

Regards
Manfred

Hi Victor,
Thank you for making these files available easily, and this is the user speaking :)

Manfred is right in another email 'Elevation contours' sounds better than 'SRTM maps'

Hi

Is there a possibility to add the plugins to the nightly build directory?

Regards,

There is no need. The plugin functionality lives in OsmAnd. This is empty package mostly like and identificator.

Hi Victor!

At the moment, it is very difficult to find out, which elevation files are already installed.
Are there ideas, to enhance this?

Regards
Manfred

Why would you want to have it as an empty package? Why not just make it an option in (default) OsmAnd without having to download a seperate, empty, APK to get it to work?

It should not be very difficult. Open download activity and see how many tiles are downloaded from specific region. 
14/15 (14 already downloaded). Regions overlap too much so it is only feasible way to display it.

Hi Victor!

It is not if one knows, what those numbers mean ;-)

But: To download, I select a country/region and get al lot of files, which looses connection to country/region.
O.K. so far.

To check, what county/region, I already have downloaded, I have to look for entries, where the number before an after the slash are equal, in a very long list.

Would it be possible, to give those entries a different colour?
Green for example, as downloaded and up to date maps?
And yellow for countries/regions with partial downloaded?

Regards
Manfred

Good point.

Now it is "filtered downloaded" and shows green when it is partially downloaded. Because some countries can't have "N/N" - all downloaded. That's why green is only one indicator.

Best Regards,
Victor

I just wanted to confirm that I need to download OSMAnd from the nightly build in order to access SRTM functionality. That it is is not available currently from version 1. Is this correct?

thanks

Hi

Is there a latest SRTM plugin available for download like the OsmAnd from nightly builds?

SRTM plugin is actually part of OsmAnd (separate application is just the indicator for OsmAnd to enable plugin).

Hi

I have the plugin APK installed from https://code.google.com/p/osmand/downloads/detail?name=Osmand-SRTMPlugin-1.0-1.apk but it is with old icon.
I just would like to have it updated too.

Regards,
Areg
