It would be very nice to install such files from a server to the relevant directory on my devices as I can install maps from openandromaps the the map directory.

Look, how astonishing the differences are:



Ordinary srtm data

Much more detailed digitally recorded data

Elevation Data for oryxmaps can be directly downloaded with "DEM1 - World Elevation Data" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.portomene.dem1">https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... omene.dem1">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.portomene.dem1

The app takes the hgt files from the servers of the developer (not configurable) and places them into the oryxmaps default DEM directory (can be changed, external sd card for example).



The files are SRTM1. I don't know the source of the data, but surely it would be worth a try to contact enemotrop. If the LIDAR based data sunny uses are so much better, then he could use them as source instead...?
