Hi, Does the altitude attribute represents a relative altitude? If I have a tunnel below a railroad, should I set altitude to -1? Thanks! asked 08 Apr '16, 14:25  GranBarba closed 12 Apr '16, 09:17  Lightsider |
One Answer:
The tunnel under the railroad should probably be marked as layer=-1. Sometimes it will be a different value for the layer, but the usual tunnel will be Altitude is usually stored in the ele key (short for elevation). It should probably only be used on a limited set of objects where the elevation is well determined (things like mountain peaks). In general combining OSM data with separate elevation data is a better approach than adding elevations of various accuracies and sources to objects. answered 08 Apr '16, 15:07  maxerickson edited 08 Apr '16, 15:16  Vincent de P... ♦ Thanks, Vincent and Max!

What altitude attribute are you talking about exactly? Can you give us the name of the tag key?
The name in spanish is "altitud"
