  • The above files were last revised on 3 March 2008. A few errors that have come to light since then have been collected and uploaded here.
  • The files are in ASCII text format. Coastline, rivers, lakes, ridges, valleys (usually determined from streams), and spot heights are included. There is documentation in each tile.
  • Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russian border areas and Ural mountain areas are covered at 1:100,000. Areas east of the Ural mountains are not covered. Other areas are covered at 1:200,000.
  • The projection is Pulkovo 42.
  • The files are named as for SRTM HGT files, with an added character to denote minutes of latitude (s=0,c=20,n=40). Each 1:100,000 tile covers 60'x20'; each 1:200,000 tile covers 120'x40'.
  • All of the mainland of European Russia that is not covered by SRTM data is mow included.

    Download also: Iceland. The Iceland tile guide can be found here; to translate, subtract the last digit from 9, and replace the other digit(s), null-11, with A-L respectively. There are slight differences, in that each text tile covers exactly 44km x 40km. The projection is local Icelandic.
