Hi Nick,

you need the program DemDisplay from the display tool, source is here:
https://svn.mkgmap.org.uk/svn/display/trunk
Binary is here:
http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/386/display.jar

Usage on a windows machine :
   java -cp d:\display\dist\display.jar;d:\mkgmap\dist\mkgmap.jar 
test.display.DemDisplay [--verbose] input-file > dem.txt
(adapt the paths, I think on linux you need : instead of ; as a separator)
input-file can be *.DEM or *.IMG containing a dem file.

The values are displayed in the "DEM sector header" as "map units between points 
(latitude):"  and "map units between points (longitude)"

Hi Gerd,

Interesting ; some time ago , you mentioned that you were able to
extract these values from the dem file structure.

Are they set in the headers? If so where so I can check some of the TOPO's

I'm having a problem with my gps64 , not the oregons, where I find its
better to opt for a higher starting distance , ie 6628 for 1''

Hi Nick,

I also wondered why Garmin prefers 3312 while 3314 looks the exacter value.
Found no explanation so far.

Hi Gerd

should 3312 logically  be 3314 (2^32/(360*3600))  ?

Not that it matters much.

Hi Andreas,

you are right, thanks for the hint. I took those from the transalpin demo map, 
but the last two levels are empty.
So, r4045 now says
            Example which should work with levels="0:24, 1:22, 2:20, 3:18":
            --dem-dists=3312,13248,26512,53024

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev]  option --show-profiles and DEM

Hi Gerd,

I got a bit confused when I read  the doc/example

--dem-dists=number[,number]
If given, the option specifies the resolution(s) or zoom level for the DEM 
data. If not given, mkgmap tries to determine a reasonable value based on the 
resolution found in the *.hgt files. For PC programs like MapSource or Basecamp 
you only need one zoom level, for gps devies you need one for each resolution 
given with the --levels option. The actual values are given as distance between 
two DEM points. Higher disances mean lower resolution and thus fewer bytes in 
the map. Reasonable values for the highest resolution are somewhere between 
1648 and 5520, 3312 is often used.
Example which should work with levels="0:24, 1:22, 2:20, 3:18, 4:16":
--dem-dists=3312,13248,26512,53024
This was found in a Garmin Demo map for transalpin data created 2009.

There are only 4 values for –dem-dist ,although there are 5 „Levels“.
This seems to be  in contrast to „…for gps devies you need one for each 
resolution given with the --levels Option ?

Regards

Andreas

Hi all,

I don't see a reason to have this option at all. It should be set
automatically to 1 if either contour data or DEM is written. If this
data is in the map, you always want to have it and if those are not in
the map, you don't need it. Or am I wrong?

Henning
