[mkgmap-dev] Contour lines with "Artefacts" near a vertical line situated at W0° 00' 00"

Thu Mar 10 13:15:31 GMT 2022

Hello,

After many hours of time to get a correct knowledge of the most important
tools needed to produce Garmin map, like mkmap, Splitter.. and plenty of
hours to develop my own Styles files for mkgmap, I am now able to produce
local maps mainly for Fenix 6x or Garmin 66, specifically for Trail Running.

That help me also to have a mean to verify immediately all my contributions
to OSM database.

To have the best results for my personal maps, I use altitude data from
Sonny. 

https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/dtm-europe?locale=en

For flat part of the country, I generally generate contour lines with a 5m
space, in lieu of a 10m or 20m space between contours lines.

That choice seems for me a very good choice for as an example "Ile de
France" (Extended Region around Paris), where max altitude are between 150
to 200m.

I recently generate contourlines near La Rochelle in France for a local zone
called "Poitou-Charentes",

http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/france/poitou-charentes.html

but unfortunately, I have artefacts, that I don't have for example in many
other regions of France.

These artefacts are also visible for 5m, 10m and 20m space between contours
lines.

These "artefacts" are described in the pdf files given at this link:

To generate my contour lines, I use mainly hgt2osm, with hgt files from
Sonny.

Hgt files in the example : 

N46W002.zip

N46W001.zip

N46E000.zip

N45W002.zip

N45W001.zip

N45E000.zip

Command line

hgt2osm -g HGT-AFAIRE --MinorDistance=10

mit OSMVisible:          False

max. Punktanzahl je Weg: 500

mit 'contour_ext'-Tag:   True

At first sight, it seems that all these artefacts begin just near a vertical
line situated at W0° 00' 00" / E0° 00' 00" 

Any ideas to helps me to solve the problem?

Many thanks

Regards

Gerard Cattiaux
