[mkgmap-dev] Instructions to make contour maps

Tue Aug 18 23:56:19 BST 2009

I spent a lot of time today trying to figure out the above and did not  
succeed.  Would anyone be willing to produce a step by step guide on  
how to achieve it please?

It took me a long time to find a server where  I could download .hgt  
files and then I played with various combinations of options -- 
contours --dem-type=SRTM dem-path=dir_with_(compressed)_hgt_file(s)
but I kept getting garbage

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Cliff
