 Hello, welcome back on my YouTube channel. In this video I'm going to show the updated version of the SRTM Downloader plugin. There are a few little differences with previous versions that I've also used in the book QGIS for hydrological applications. Let's start with an idea of our study area. So I open here the bounding box and I'm going to add a backdrop of OpenStreetMap. Now make sure the bounding box is on top and the bounding box projection is also used here as the projection of the project. I'm going to style the bounding box with a simple line that I make red and a little bit thicker. So this is our study area and now I want to download the SRTM tiles for this area. So let's install the SRTM Downloader plugin. Go to the Plugins Manager and search for SRTM. If you've found the plugin you see that the latest update was in November 2023, so a few months ago, and click Install plugin and after installation click Close. Now find the SRTM Downloader icon in the toolbar and in the dialog set the extent to the canvas extent. Also browse to the folder where you want to store the SRTM tiles, otherwise it will go to a temporary folder which will cause problems. Click the download button. In the pop-up you need to set your username and password or create a new account by using the link. After you have successfully logged in it will download the SRTM tiles, in this case 6 images. When the download is completed click OK and close. The difference with previous versions is that it will mosaic the tiles together into a virtual raster which you otherwise need to create yourself. So at the top of our layers panel is the merged layer and below it created a group SRTM images with each SRTM tile individually. So with this you can skip in the procedure the step of mosa-eeking the SRTM tiles and proceed with the next step. As an alternative you can also try the Open Topography DEM Downloader plugin. With this plugin you have a choice of multiple DEM sources and it will also stitch tiles automatically together for your chosen extent. This plugin is covered in another video.
