Hi

The idea of a dem.zip sounds would have some major disadvantages

1) Data can only be 3arc or 1 arc not both

2) 1 arc data to me is more preferable but contains void data which have to be replaced with 3arc data

Maybee we can create a ready to use DEM-model, store it like the bounds.zip and see.zip ? The user can download it and mkgmap reads the DEM from downloaded #DEM.ZIP# ? This method would be a graet advantage for users, who not so familiar with the DEM .

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Is dem-tdb branch ready for trunk ?

Hi all,

I am not aware of any erros in r4091, so I think it is time to merge it into trunk.

I see only one problem: HGT data changes rarely, so I'd prefer to do the costly DEM calculations
only once and be able to store the results.
I've already described how to do this here [1] but I'd prefer to have a container format that allows mkgmap to extract the Garmin DEM bitstream data for a given lat/lon pair from a file. Such a container could contain the DEM data for one or more dem-dist values. It could be empty first and grow each time you calculate DEM for a new area. In subsequent executions of mkgmap it would
check if the container already contains the data for the wanted area.
Advantage would be a faster tile compilation and less power consumption, disadvantage would be the
additional disk space and higher complexity.
