[mkgmap-dev] Creating a map with contour lines and DEM

From Bernhard Hiller bhil at gmx.de on Thu Feb 15 13:51:50 GMT 2018

The solution was actually simple: the lines created by Srtm2Osm had a 
"contour" tag only, but no "contour_ext" tag.
It is necessary to supply the "-cat" option, together with values for 
major, medium, and minor elevation steps.
I.e. I changed the call to
Srtm2Osm.exe -step 25 -cat 500 100 25 -large
and now things work.
