Hi all, I've had a busy and very successful week in getting a downloadable GPS map of the Crowsnest Pass compiled, hopefully I'll be able to pass this around the local at tomorrow's mapping party to 'wet their whistle'.
See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Canada:Alberta:Crowsnest_Pass#Crowsnest_GPS_Map One limitation that immediately jumps out is that the contours are not graduated, by that I mean there are not gradually display in more detail as the map is zoomed. This does happen in the .NET version of srtm2Osm, however I'm used the perl/gnuplot varient. An updated perl version is here: http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/621 The idea of graduated contours is explained here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Srtm2osm#Categorizing_Contours_For_Mkgmap Basically they are additionally tags so that mkgmap.jar can mark the more detailed contours only to appear at greater levels of zoom. I'd love to make the changes myself, but perl is about as foreign a language as could be. My suggestion is that a couple of extra parameters are add to mark 'elevation_medium' and 'elevation_major' contours. For example: mkcntr2.pl extract.txt 10 50 100 > contours.osm would produce minor contours at 10m separations, medium at multiples of 50m and major at multiples of 100m. So if anyone could help, I'd be mighty grateful. Cheers, Simon aka.
