DEM contrast option?
by jan meisters 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

I just made my first map with the new DEM-option and I´m impressed. Pretty easy. But I wonder why DEM shading looses contrast in higher resolutions in BaseCamp: My Style has background poly 4a and 4b (both transparent), however they are not mentioned in polygons. I wouldn´t know how to tag them anyway. And even with a completely blanked typ-file the difference is visible: HGT´s are 3“ data from viewfinderpanaramas.org To keep the contrasted DEM up to higher resolutions/zooms I played with all DEM-options from help, and also with transparencies, but that had no effect - the softer shading remains. I see the switch in Basecamp somewhere between assumed resolutions 20 and 22. How is this switch defined? Is there a value to adjust this? Jan

Need some information about routing
by Manfred Haiduk 07 Jul '18

Hi all I've stumbeled about a small routing problem. I do create two types of maps, one is called "myland" with nearly all informations to be found in OSM, the other is called "mystreet" which do mainly show all streets but less information about the surrounding. The two 'lines' files in the appropriate styles are nearly same, except that for the street map all the ways not suitable for automotive driving are not rendered. My question is, using the same destination in either map, the routing is slightly different in my Garmin 276Cx. For example, routing in the land map uses some grade1 tracks within a forest, the street map does not. But the tracks are to be find in both maps. Anyone an idea, why this is computed differently in the device ?
