srtm

Go library for reading Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) HGT files

Written on pure golang. Based on github.com/jda/srtm and inspired geojson-elevation and node-hgt

Compare testing results (tested on Intel Core i3-7100, 8GB memory, SSD, elevation/srtm services run inside docker with port forwarding).

Support 1-arcsecond and 3-arcseconds hgt-tiles.

Provide web-service as elevation-service (like github.com/asmyasnikov/elevation-service) with allow CORS requests, auto-download zipped hgt-tiles from imagico service, unzipp and persist hgt-tiles in user-defined tile directory.

Environment variables:

• HTTP_PORT - http port of web-service (default 80)
• TILE_DIRECTORY - directory of hgt tiles (default ./data/)
• LRU_CACHE_SIZE - LRU cache size (default 1000)
• LOG_LEVEL - logging level
• WWW - prefix of handlers (default "")
• DEBUG - boolean flag for debug handlers with pprof (default false)
• EXTRACT - boolean flag for auto extracting hgt.gz files (after extracting remove archive, default false)

Install and usage:

• from sources

# go get github.com/asmyasnikov/srtm/srtm-service
# mkdir data
# HTTP_PORT=80 TILE_DIRECTORY=./data LRU_CACHE_SIZE=1000 srtm-service &
