[mkgmap-dev] DEM Noddy Guide

From Gerd Petermann gpetermann_muenchen at hotmail.com on Tue Jan 9 08:20:12 GMT 2018

Hi Nick,

I think this message may appear if you have blanks in the option --dem. What exactly do you use?

Gerd

Hi Gerd,

Just come across a misleading error message:

SEVERE (HGTReader): F:\garmin\maps\ukraine\12345700.osm.pbf:
  does not exist
Number of MapFailedExceptions: 0
Number of ExitExceptions: 0

The pbf existed, as it produced the map with out DEM !

However,some of the .hgt files were missing which caused the error.

Just a minor point

Nick
