[mkgmap-dev] DEM bug at 50°N

Fri Apr 13 12:50:40 BST 2018

Oops, found one bug in the patch: It should search for A01.zip, not A1.zip when N00W177.hgt is needed.

Attached is hgt_viewfinder-v2.patch and the new binary is here:

Hi Bernhard,

thanks for the feedback and the formulars.

@all:
The attached patch allows mkgmap to find the zip names, it would find L32.zip when N44E006.hgt.
I hope I got all the special cases right ;-)
Some cases are very special, e.g U20.zip and GL-North.zip (Greenland) both contain the file N80W063.hgt and the contents of these files are different
in the two zips :O
No idea if the differences are wanted or not. I decided to search for U20.zip first, then for GL-North.zip.
This could be changed so that GL-North would be preferred, no idea what's better.

A binary is here:

Hi Gerd,

thanks, that patch works.
Bugs with simple reasons are often hard to find.

The names of the viewfinderpanoramas file look like:
- floor(Longitude/6)+31 for the number part
- (char))floor(latitude/4)+65) for the character at northern latitudes,
- 'S'+(char)(floor(latitude/4)+65) for the character at southern latitudes,
and some exceptions for Greenland, Iceland, and Antarctica.

Kind regards,
Bernhard
