Work with SRTM
SRTM(Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) is a mission that obtained digital elevation models on a global scale. The measurement results are published on the United States Geological Survey's website.
GPX Binder can calculate elevation of point by installing correct SRTM files.


Installation of SRTM files.
SRTM files are provided as mesh tiles, each covering one degree of latitude and one degree of longitude. The size of each file is about 3MB, but in total size is over 15GB.
So GPX Binder does not contain SRTM files. If you want to use, you need to download and install them by yourself.


STEP 1 : Confirm required SRTM tiles
Select points on the Map and Select "Get Elevation of Selected Point" from the action menu under the point list. If there are correct SRTM tiles, the elevation will be automatically apply to the points. If not, an alert will be shown like this:
At the first line of this alert shows the name of required tiles (In this case, the name of tile is "N36E138"). Note them, and close the alert.


STEP 2 : Download SRTM files
You can download SRTM Files from the United States Geological Survey's website. Download files named (Tile Name) +.hgt.zip and unzip them on your desktop.

Note:There are three kind of SRTM files. SRTM-30 (900m mesh) , SRTM-3 (90m mesh) and SRTM-1 (30m mesh). GPX Binder is Currently be able to use SRTM-3 only.


STEP 3 : Install files to GPX Binder
Show the Preferences Panel the GPX Binder (⌘ - ,), and click SRTM tab.
Click button and select .hgt file you have unzipped. You can also drag and drop files into the list directory.
