[mkgmap-dev] r4006: 1st alpha version to write DEM data

Wed Dec 20 23:59:38 GMT 2017

Hi Gerd,
just a brief feedback: Overall it seems to be fine. In MapSource and
Basecamp most of the DEM-Data is displayed. But there a many squares
completely empty (I guess not read at all by Garmin). Of these tiles a
lot are along the coast and nearby lake-area. Maybe this is related to
large areas with no changing elevation. But also there are some
coast-tiles working well. If you need additional information, please let
me know.

Bye Henning
