<p>I'm sorry Gerd but you are wrong.</p>
<p>When I have a map merged with contours but without DEM and without show-porfiles=1 in my options args file the elevation profile is greyes out and not available. Only if I use
<span>show-porfiles=1 </span>an altitude profile is available when making a route. So please keep this option or make it default.<br>

<div class="PlainText">If you compile a map with contour lines and show-profiles=1 MapSource
<br>
does calculate route profile. I've been using a command like the <br>
following for a long time and it worked for me:<br>
java -ea -Xmx4500M -jar mkgmap.jar --output-dir=./tmp --tdbfile --latin1 <br>
--code-page=1252 --description="OSM+$CURVAS-$MAPA" --country-name=$PAIS <br>
--country-abbr=$ABR --family-name="OSM+$CURVAS $MAPA" --family-id=3$FID <br>
--product-id=1 --product-version=$VERSION --series-name="OSM+$CURVAS <br>
$MAPA" --area-name="$MAPA" --overview-mapname=$ABR-3$FID <br>
--overview-mapnumber=653${FID}000 --index --road-name-config=$CONFIG <br>
--show-profiles=1 tmp/551${FID}*.img curvas/602${FID}*.img <br>
typ/$ABR-3${FID}.TYP<br>
Where tmp/551${FID}*.img are precompiled regular map tiles and <br>
curvas/602${FID}*.img are precompiled contour lines tiles. The only <br>
issue is MapSource doesn't display contour lines, only height numbers.<br>
