I am experimenting with a mapping application. I don't believe it is possible to derive an elevation value using the Google Maps library so I am looking for a terrain elevation database. I would prefer SQLITE but I will take anything I can source for conversion. A google search throws up several results but I have not spotted anything I can use so far.

Perhaps some members of the community have some experience in this area?

You don't say what part of the world you need to deal with but I see that you live in the UK. I expect that you have looked at OS Terrain 50, but in case you have not then it is available as a free download here. I used it many years ago but a lot has changed since then so I cannot say much more about it. In any case, you might be looking for world-wide data.

Thanks @Brian Dean I had not seen that one, I will take a look. My ideal solution would be worldwide data, but that may only be available as an expensive commercial solution.
