Hi Flo, I never missed that feature at all as my topographic maps have those lines included. Ages ago there where transparent Garmin files with elevation lines to be used as overlay on the devices. This will work with QMS, too. But usually these lines are of bad quality. The used algorithms fail miserably at steep slopes.
I never tried to add vectorial maps to a *vrt. I would expect them to fail. But I can't tell for sure.
