Yeah, I hadn't realised that contours are so complicated. I definitely
don't have the time to investigate all that stuff, but I got some help
on talk-in, so I'll see how that goes.

Thanks all,

I have a little script which can do it from download to mkgmap. requires a
bunch of utilities installed like gdal, proj4, shp2osm, perl ...
once this is done it is only a question of compute time.
for northern india srtm is probably bad quality and viewfinderpanorama will
be much better with all the voids filled in.

don't have access to my machine currently so can't help for a short term map
creation. eventually can get to access the scripts later today

Hi all,
   As usual I've left this to the last minute, but wondering if anyone
knows of any downloadable Garmin maps, preferably bicycle ones, for
northern India (Himachal Pradesh). I'm going to try the Cloudmade ones
as a backup (they're not routable or bike specific), but are there any
others?

Secondly, what about contours? I'm going to try this site:
http://blog.bokhorst.biz/1864/computers-en-internet/how-to-create-custom-garmin-contour-maps/
but it's a worry when the author thinks that a 21 step process
involving 6 downloads is "very easy".

Thanks,
Steve

How about: http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php or
http://openmtbmap.org/download/

Contours are a pain. If you've really left this to the last minute then 
you're not going to want to get up the learning curve for creating your 
own for Garmin devices.

post on talk-in - I know there is at least one guy working on that area,
possibly a few more
