Highly off topic:
1. Check: Countourlines have to have exactly the same resolution as 
normal maps (if normal maps 24,22,20,18 countourline maps have to be 
24,22,20 (you can skip the 18) - if normal maps are 24,23,22,21,20 then 
well, your contourline maps need to be also 24,23,22,21,20 - as soon as 
you leave out a resolution they won't be displayed anymore)
2. Contourline maps have to have higher mapname.

--- both is irrelevant if you use basecamp or on GPS, which always shows 
contourlines if inside same tdb. Problem is 1, in general contourlines 
work better if you have 23,21,20 as levels on GPS or for Qlandkarte GT. 
DEM3 data, is not good enough resolution to justify the 2x space / 
render requirements of res 23.)
