gmalt API

gmalt API provides the web server to get an altitude at a geographical position using the SRTM dataset.

It is designed to handler SRTM data stored in :

• raw HGT file
• standard SQL table (coming soon)
• GIS aware SQL table with raster format (coming soon)

For now, only postgres (with PostGIS for raster support) is supported as SQL storage.
