[mkgmap-dev] splitter r586 still doesn't always align properly with --align-for-dem option

Hi Andrzej,

I agree that it makes no sense to align to hgt when Garmin uses 0,0 as base
and data is far away from this point.
Probably it is a good idea to think about the way how the Garmin software can
determine what data it has to read to render a given rectangle. What makes you think
that 0,0 is used instead of the upper left cornen given in the DEM section header(s)?

Gerd

Hi Gerd,

my current opinion is, that aligning to HGT won't work. The way Garmin
sets coordinates in DEM suggests, that all DEM is aligned to coordinates
0;0. Since pixel distance for DEM can be set exactly as in HGT, the
farther form 0;0 the bigger misalignment. Then at some point could
appear a shift of DEM, like we have already observed for unaligned
versions. I estimate, that for dem-dists=9942 this could be above 80 degree.
