<br>
attached is a patch that implements option --x-dem-empty-dist as discussed.<br>
I tried with<br>
--dem-dists=19884,39768,53024,<wbr>106048 --x-dem-empty-dist=212096<br>
and found no visual effect, and with<br>
--dem-dists=19884,39768,53024 --x-dem-empty-dist= 106048<br>
the hill shading didn't work at all, and my Oregon froze when I tried to show the elevation data for a route.<br>
<br>
So, I've also tried with a different patch that writes height 0 instead of "undefined". This seems to work, <br>
but I am not sure if it shows the wanted effect. I've attached this 2nd version. <br>
Please try on your own.<br>

I prefer to have Basemap - but I know many people delete it by accident or don't activate it - and I just tried a gmapsupp DEM map will also give shading to overview map.<br>
And yeah - maybe call it<br>
--dem-empty-dist<br>
<br>
so you would have e.g.<br>
--dem-dists=19884,39768,53024,<wbr>106048 --dem-empty-dist=212096<br>
or<br>
--dem-dists=19884,39768,53024 --dem-empty-dist= 106048<br>
<br>
<br>
not sure what values will work best. And yes I would expect only uknown or undefined heights should do the trick - but of course I do not know. With garmins usual approach i do guess it's possible to create it in a way that it switches off at some zoom level by inserting empty data.<br>

Hi Felix,<br>
<br>
it should be easy to add an empty layer, but I'd prefer a special option for that.<br>
Any ideas for a good option name?<br>
I guess an empty layer would be one that contains only "unknown" or "undefined" heights.<br>
No idea what the device will do with such a layer, I'll try it.<br>
If I got you right you prefer to have no basemap on your device? Or maybe some devices don't have<br>
one by default?<br>

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Could mkgmap be extended to create an empty dem dist layer?<br>
<br>
If compiling DEM gmapsupp.img for device, right now it will show forever when zooming out - it would be good to have a fake/empty dem top layer - say<br>
--dem-dists=19884,39768,53024,<wbr>212096<br>
with 212096 being empty or just having enough data that the device is not actually shading the map?<br>
<br>
Basically I think dem on device is only useful from around 5-30km zoom levels (with default detail level). 5km is the lowest that the devices choose if DEM is on auto zoom level, but it will continue showing it indefinitely (at least if no basemap is activated) - so getting the device to show an empty dem to switch of shading would be pretty useful.<br>
<br>
