Hi all,
I've tried to use it with --x-contours and it turned out that it doesn't work.
1) The code expects the SRTM data to be available, it has no automatic download
feature like e.g. phyghtmap. I think that this would be needed to make it a
good feature.
2) The code can only add SRTM data for a tile which is not too large ("must
not span more than one SRTM file"). This would also require more work.
3) If the code generates ways they are ignored because some methods are not
called to process them. It may have worked before r2599, but surely not since
then.
So, I think it is safe to remove the code since nobody complained.

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] undocumented contour line feature
Hi all,
mkgmap contains sources to generate contour lines from SRTM data, but it seems
to be very
incomplete. The last significant changes in the source was in 2010, and I never
heard that anybody uses
options like --x-contours since I started to contribute to mkgmap.

I'd like to either remove the code completely or mayve make it work if you
think that it would be better to have the code in mkgmap
instead of a separate package like phyghtmap.
Does anybody remember why it is not documented?
Gerd
