[mkgmap-dev] DEM contrast option?

Mon Jul 9 15:25:06 BST 2018

Which resolution exactly do you mean?
I already described that I tried different values for dem-dists (including one single resolution).
This, of course, has a huge effect on DETAILS, but not on CONTRAST.

Anybody has an idea how to adjust contrast?
