[mkgmap-dev] Please help with news about new DEM options

Wed Jan 31 08:48:41 GMT 2018

Yes, it would be helpful if we mention where we can get the hgt files, a few examples of the dem-dist values and an explanation how to calculate it. This information is already there but mentioned in the many updates  of the branch versions.

I use  http://www.javawa.nl/srtm/index.php?lang=nl because it has a good overview map, the disadvantage is that you need to download every single tile manually and not in one big download. Maybe there are better alternatives?

Hi all,

with r4093 I've merged the dem-tdb branch into trunk. I think it would be good to mention this in the
"Latest news" on [1] , maybe with one or two screen shots, but I have no idea how to write this "from a users view".
Do we need a how-to that describes the sources for hgt files and maybe more about the new options?
It would be great if somebody could help with that.
