[mkgmap-dev] r4006: 1st alpha version to write DEM data

Tue Dec 19 19:13:14 GMT 2017

Hi Nick,

sorry, I don't understand the problem. How do you add osm/.mp files to your main pfb file ?
I assume you mean you call mkgmap with multiple sets of input files which overlap ?
In that case maybe you can use the dem option only for one subset ?

Hi Gerd

There is another minor issue which is unrelated to the problems you have
identified, but one I have noticed with Franks program as well:

The problem with a blanket --dem option is that , if you add say contour
osm/.mp files to your main pfb file, it also calculates dem subfiles for
those extra files.

There is no easy solution and interestingly Garmin does not object to
having duplicate dem imgs , ie more than one img with the same dem subfile.

There might me a way of flagging duplicate zones?
