[mkgmap-dev] Contour lines with "Artefacts" near a vertical line situated at W0° 00' 00"

Mon Mar 21 10:30:18 GMT 2022

Hi Bernhard,

I recently made a few new tests with an old release of phyghtmap (the
release 1.47 tested §4.3 Windows Installation, see
http://katze.tfiu.de/projects/phyghtmap/)

A comparison between hgt2osm and phyghtmap (1.42) is given at this link:

We also can see cut contour lines only at 0°. But phyghtmap don't generate
horizontal lines.

IMHO  I think that this little issue could be easily solved by Frank Stinner
the developer of hgt2osm.

I tried to send him an email about these "artefacts" near 0°, hopping the
email addresses are correct and in usage.

Best regards,

Gerard

Hi Gerard,
you can check the elevation contour lines by opening the file generated by
your tool in e.g. JOSM (my take some time when the file is large).
Strange distortions are expected at the borders of the whole set of input
files, but not where input files are adjacent to each other.
Your description seems to hint to a bug when crossing the 0°-meridian. I do
not know how srtm2osm reacts there, it might be worth to try it.

Kind regards,
Bernhard

Hello,

After many hours of time to get a correct knowledge of the most important
tools needed to produce Garmin map, like mkmap, Splitter.. and plenty of
hours to develop my own Styles files for mkgmap, I am now able to produce
local maps mainly for Fenix 6x or Garmin 66, specifically for Trail Running.

That help me also to have a mean to verify immediately all my contributions
to OSM database.

To have the best results for my personal maps, I use altitude data from
Sonny. 

 <https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/dtm-europe?locale=en>
https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/dtm-europe?locale=en

For flat part of the country, I generally generate contour lines with a 5m
space, in lieu of a 10m or 20m space between contours lines.

That choice seems for me a very good choice for as an example "Ile de
France" (Extended Region around Paris), where max altitude are between 150
to 200m.

I recently generate contourlines near La Rochelle in France for a local zone
called "Poitou-Charentes",

 <http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/france/poitou-charentes.html>
http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/france/poitou-charentes.html

but unfortunately, I have artefacts, that I don't have for example in many
other regions of France.

These artefacts are also visible for 5m, 10m and 20m space between contours
lines.

These "artefacts" are described in the pdf files given at this link:

sharing>
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uiA51R4Kd_WYsdeTrEtevu2jJ_8aPinH/view?usp=s
haring

To generate my contour lines, I use mainly hgt2osm, with hgt files from
Sonny.

Hgt files in the example : 

N46W002.zip

N46W001.zip

N46E000.zip

N45W002.zip

N45W001.zip

N45E000.zip

Command line

hgt2osm -g HGT-AFAIRE --MinorDistance=10

mit OSMVisible:          False

max. Punktanzahl je Weg: 500

mit 'contour_ext'-Tag:   True

At first sight, it seems that all these artefacts begin just near a vertical
line situated at W0° 00' 00" / E0° 00' 00" 

Any ideas to helps me to solve the problem?

Many thanks
