[mkgmap-dev] Remove option dem-polygon ?

Fri Feb 2 08:56:18 GMT 2018

I only use BaseCamp and have not seen any crashes so far. I have noticed a
couple of tracks that don't show the elevation, and instead display a
message "the current map does not contain any elevation data on the selected
route(s)". There is no obvious hole in the relief that I can see, so not
sure why this should happen, but perhaps it is related.

Cheers,
Mike

Subject: [mkgmap-dev] Remove option dem-polygon ?

Hi all,

I did not get much feedback on this thread [1], maybe because I wrote
-dem-profile instead of dem-polygon in the subject?

It seems that MapSource simply cannot handle routes on maps created with
that option. Basecamp is more robust but also shows
problems as I stated in the first post.

Does anybody use this option for a routable map and is able to produce
height profiles for routes crossing tile borders in Mapsource?
If yes there may be hope...

Gerd
