ElevationUtilities

Description

This is a general utilities class that allows checks to get elevation data. The class currently only understands HGT files, which by specification are 1 degree by 1 degree tiles. There is a script which can be used to get NASA SRTM elevation data (~90m accuracy throughout the world, some locations have no data).
