Hi Felix,

it should be easy to add an empty layer, but I'd prefer a special option for 
that.
Any ideas for a good option name?
I guess an empty layer would be one that contains only "unknown" or "undefined" 
heights.
No idea what the device will do with such a layer, I'll try it.
If I got you right you prefer to have no basemap on your device? Or maybe some 
devices don't have
one by default?

Gerd

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Could mkgmap be extended to create an empty dem dist      
layer?

If compiling DEM gmapsupp.img for device, right now it will show forever when 
zooming out - it would be good to have a fake/empty dem top layer - say
--dem-dists=19884,39768,53024,212096
with 212096 being empty or just having enough data that the device is not 
actually shading the map?

Basically I think dem on device is only useful from around 5-30km zoom levels 
(with default detail level). 5km is the lowest that the devices choose if DEM 
is on auto zoom level, but it will continue showing it indefinitely (at least 
if no basemap is activated) - so getting the device to show an empty dem to 
switch of shading would be pretty useful.

Greetings
Felix
