[mkgmap-dev] WG: r4015 in dem-tdb branch implements --x-overview-dem-dist

From lig fietser ligfietser at hotmail.com on Sat Dec 23 11:55:39 GMT 2017

Hi, although I use 3" hgt files, 3312 looks much more detailed than 9942?

Hi!
I've just noticed that I replied to Minko instead of the list. Please see below.

I am not sure what to think about that.
When you use 3'' hgt files (size is  ~2.8MB) the resolution in that data is 2^32/(360 * 1200) ~ 9942.
When you use 1'' hgt files (size is  ~26MB) the resolution in that data is 2^32/(360 * 3600) ~ 3314.
The current implementation in mkgmap interpolates the values found in the hgt file. It assumes
continous slope between two points at the same lat, so e.g. if one is 123 and the other is 135,
it assumes that a point in the middle is at 129.
I assumed that the Garmin algo does something similar when calculating the heights, but maybe it
doesn't.

I did not yet try to find out the best values for dem-dists, so it would be good to hear about results.

Thanks Gerd, the value of 3312 works much better now!

Hi Minko,

to convert the parms for BuildDEMFile you have to multiply by 2^32/360 :
0.00027761 * 2^32/360  ~ 3312.

Hi Gerd,
Thanks for the good work to implement DEM into mkgmap!
I have tested a few tiles, I noticed that BuildDEMFile with--dlon=0.00027761 has a much more detailed relief than the default values x-dem-dists=5520, 16560, 44176, 88368 How can I get the same results as with dlon=0.00027761?
