I have only used contours with polish format input. With polish format you need to add elevation=M in the header portion of the mp file to tell mkgmap you are using meters.

Thanks a lot, this was the hint I needed. Works now very well.

[mkgmap-dev] elevation contours, wrong values
Hi I have an problem with the values of my elevation contours. They where created by srtm2osm. After processing them with mkgmap, I opened the resulting map with MapSource, but the values are to little by factor ~3.3. The ele-values were retagged to name. I think MapSource or mkgmap take my metric values as foot-values and transfer them to metric system. After splitter the values where correct in metric system. Is this a mkgmap-bug or is it a Garmin-thing and I have to input foot-values?

Re: [mkgmap-dev] elevation contours, wrong values
You have to give proper commands to srtm2osm. This has nothing to do with mkgmap. On 18.01.2011 21:17, Henning Scholland wrote: Hi I have an problem with the values of my elevation contours.

I also remember that you could specify some option on srtm2osm to define which unit to use. ___ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
