Hi Bernhard, it turned out to be a stupid error in my code, see http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=4154 Please use r4154 (overlaps branch) or r4155 from trunk.
I did not notice this because I never used the zipped files from viewfinder because their names (e.g. m32.zip) give so little information about the content :-( Gerd ________________________________________ Von: mkgmap-dev <[email protected]> im Auftrag von Gerd Petermann <[email protected]> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 11.

You should see better results if you unzip the files. I'll try to add support for this format now.

I do not live in the Swiss alps, but some 50km west of Frankfurt, just north of 50°N... The correct elevation is about 80m. Near Bingen (just south of 50°N), the Rhine is at an elevation of ~500m, somewhere between Assmannshausen and Lorch it ascends suddenly and very steeply to almost 3000m. In Cologne still at 500 m asl. South of 48°N, the data seem OK; but in the north, I did not find reasonable values - the Elbe in Hamburg above 1000m asl. I exclude a problem in the DEM data: before creating the map of Germany and Czechia, I tested with Hessen only. And then, the DEM values looked reasonable. I use mkgmap 4143. The command includes parameters for DEM: --dem-poly=areas.poly ^ --dem=%DEMPATH% ^ --dem-dists=3314,4000,6000,8000,10000,15000,20000,30000 ^ areas.poly were created by splitter in the step before, SET DEMPATH=E:\Maps\Development\SRTM\L32.zip,E:\Maps\Development\SRTM\M32.zip,E:\Maps\Development\SRTM\N32.zip,E:\Maps\Development\SRTM\L33.zip,E:\Maps\Development\SRTM\M33.zip,E:\Maps\Development\SRTM\N33.zip contains DEM data from http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/Coverage%20map%20viewfinderpanoramas_org3.htm (while testing with Hessen, %DEMPATH% was E:\Maps\Development\SRTM\M32.zip only which contains data from N48E006 to N51E011). Or is it a matter of file size? The largest *.img file has 131256kB.
