My contour style has exactly the same levels as the base style, and the mapnames are higher. All I can see is the contour labels, but not the contours themselves (see http://cferrero.net/maps/img/mkgmapdev_contourissue.png). If I just display the contour maps and not the basemap, it works as expected (see http://cferrero.net/maps/img/mkgmapdev_contourissue2.png)
I'm using Mapsource 6.16.3, my base map has mapname 63247001 and the contour tiles are 63247201-63247209, compiled with higher draw priority and --transparent The levels definition in both basemap and contours is levels = 0:24, 1:23, 2:22, 3:20, 4:18, 5:16 -- Charlie _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
