[mkgmap-dev] DEM Noddy Guide

Tue Jan 9 10:01:54 GMT 2018

hi Nick,

now I am confused. The attached zip contains a dem.args that contains an empty dem option.
Do you keep the *.hgt files in the working directory?
Or maybe you generate the file ?

Gerd

Hi Gerd

Run file:

java -Xmx1024m -ea -jar F:\vb6\A_MAPU~1\mkgmaps\MKA1FF~1\mkgmap.jar
--mapname=41061037 --family-id=993 F:\vb6\A_MAPU~1\TOPO_6~1.TYP
--series-name="map3" --family-name="map3" --overview-mapname="map3"
--remove-short-arcs --style-file=F:\vb6\A_MAPU~1\styles
--style="default" --keep-going --check-roundabouts --drive-on=right
--output-dir=F:\vb6\A_MAPU~1\temp --transparent --index --route --nsis
--add-pois-to-areas --add-pois-to-lines --merge-lines
--name-tag-list=int_name,name --location-autofill=is_in,nearest
--housenumbers --tdbfile --draw-priority=10 -c
F:\vb6\A_MAPU~1\args\DEM~1.ARG -c F:\vb6\A_MAPU~1\args\TEMPLA~2.ARG

Attached are the args
