Thanks Gerd, it is what it is. Then I'll stick with brouter or rwgps to make 
more accurate elevation profiles.

Hi Minko,

there is no special flag for tunnel/bridge in the IMG format, at least we don't 
know any. So, Garmin software cannot detect the special case.

Thanks Gerd,
It's a pity that this cannot be corrected. I thought the route could look where 
a tunnel/bridge section is (based on OSM tags) and just ignore all elevation 
data and starts reading it where there is no tunnel or bridge tag?

Hi all,

I also don't like the wrong profile for bridges and tunnels, but there is 
nothing we can do about this so far.
The other routers know that the have to treat bridges and tunnel special, but 
Garmin software doesn't have this information.
We also cannot manipulate the elevation data because there may be another 
highway under the bridge or above the tunnel.

Gerd

I've put an example on this forum (in Dutch). The brouter route 
(https://tinyurl.com/3nt27szy) shows a profile that is more accurate than the 
route in Basecamp.

Onderwerp: [mkgmap-dev] elevation in bridges and tunnels


Hi guys,
I came across this video on youtube, where ridewithgps.com improved their 
elevation profiles by ignoring the underlying altititude data of tunnel and 
bridges:
 https://youtu.be/wd-wT3EeayI
I found out that other route planners like brouter, cycle.travel and Osmand 
also ignores the surface altitude that lies above tunnels and underneath 
bridges, but mkgmap/Garmin does not. This leads to a much higher elevation gain 
or loss in the route profile than the actual ride. Is it possible for mkgmap to 
correct this issue, or is it hard coded in the Garmin Basecamp software?
