LOADING DATA

Load MNT raster

In QGIS, you can visualize your DEM, or merge several tiles together (in Raster > Misc > Merge).

Generate a GeoTIFF, and upload both files (.tif + .tfw) on the server. And use the Geotrek command to load it into PostGIS :

bin/django loaddem <PATH>/dem.tif
note:This command makes use of GDAL and raster2pgsql internally. It therefore supports all GDAL raster input formats. You can list these formats with the command raster2pgsql -G.
