Benediktenwand - Topo and path do not correlate

Open fire-burner opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

First of all thanks for the great project! I found a small issue on a Souther German mountain path on Benediktenwand: When coming down from the West flank, the path does not go up again for more than 30m before reaching the Tutzinger Hut. see https://opentopomap.org/#map=17/47.65590/11.46023 As this is my first report, I am not sure if this is the correct way to address this issue.

Yes, the path sees to correct, the elevation data are wrong (with better data you get a small increase with 7m height at this point). That's a pity, but I'm afraid we don't have any better ones for use in OpenTopoMap. See #191

I see, so the issue is with the Topo data not always being that accurate. Thanks for the clarification. I guess it would be great if the state would open source their topography maps eventually.
