[mkgmap-dev] Maps with contours shows two maps in some devices (i.e. Zumo XT)

@Gerd - it worked well, i.e. two map sets are in. I believe the advantage
is on performance since once you processed the img contours once, you can
reuse. Plus, on my old Nuvi it allowed to just use the contour as a
transparent layer on other maps as well. However, it may not be a standard
way to build a map... I'll try your suggestion, thanks.

Hi Enrico,

no idea if a single gmapsupp.img can contain two map sets with
different family ids and multiple typ files.
Is it important for you that you have the contours in a different map
set? If not, I would merge the osm data and the contour data first,
use splitter on the merged data to have a single map containing osm
data and contours. That's how I create my own maps.
The only problem that you have to take care of is that the contour
data must not contain ids which overlap the OSM ids.

I just noticed that my file Hoehendaten_Freizeitkarte_EUROPE.osm.pbf
contains node ids starting with 7.500.000.000, so I have to create or
download a new file now.
