Hi Frank Thanks for looking into that. Just discovered what foxed me: Unusually ,there was /no error message/ telling me that neither the .hgt nor .zip file were found . Perhaps, the error message does not occur because I'm using usedummydata? In which case, it would still be very useful to know if it can't find .hgt or .zip This is what I get when I parse the large pbf C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps\osm68775599.gmap\Product1>(E:\BuildDEMFile5.exe -d 37 761652\37761652.DEM --hgtpath=E:\Dem\UK\ --tre=37761652\37761652.TRE --dlon=2.77 7777777777778e-4;5.555555555555556e-4;0.0011111111111111;0.0022222222222222;0.00 88888888888889 --overwrite=true --usedummydata=true ) BuildDEMFile, Version vom 16.11.2017, Copyright © FSofT 2017 data from TRE file '37761652\37761652.TRE' 5 zoomlevel number of subtiles 133 x 85 (most right column 95 width, undermost row 3 height) left -0.087890625°, top 51.2841796875°, width 2.373046875°, height 1.494140625° pointsize 0.000277777777777778° x 0.000277777777777778° number of subtiles 66 x 43 (most right column 112 width, undermost row 2 height) left -0.087890625°, top 51.2841796875°, width 2.373046875°, height 1.494140625° pointsize 0.000555555555555556° x 0.000555555555555556° number of subtiles 33 x 22 (most right column 88 width, undermost row 1 height) left -0.087890625°, top 51.2841796875°, width 2.373046875°, height 1.494140625° pointsize 0.0011111111111111° x 0.0011111111111111° number of subtiles 16 x 11 (most right column 108 width, undermost row 33 height ) left -0.087890625°, top 51.2841796875°, width 2.373046875°, height 1.494140625° pointsize 0.0022222222222222° x 0.0022222222222222° number of subtiles 4 x 3 (most right column 75 width, undermost row 41 height) left -0.087890625°, top 51.2841796875°, width 2.373046875°, height 1.494140625° pointsize 0.0088888888888889° x 0.0088888888888889° HGT-Daten lesen ...

Hi Nick,
there are 2 little problems in your map mapdem.gmap.
#1: I have rebuild your DEM file. Maybe, builddemfile had the N50E000.hgt.zip or N50E000.hgt not found and you have only "dummydata" in your file. "dummydata" means a valid DEM with "no data"-points.
builddemfile --hgtpath=yourpath --dem=87827699.dem --tre=87827699.tre --dlon=0.00027777;0.00055555;0.00111110;0.00222221;0.00888884
create a DEM file with 23781 Byte.
#2: Like Andrzej wrote: you need also a new TDB. I have used a quick but very dirty method: I have only for TDB-build temporary created the Tile IMG's ov.img and 87827699.img.
gmtool -i mapdem\*.* --join=tile -o ov.img gmtool -i 87827699\*.* --join=tile -o 87827699.img gmtool -i *.img --mapsource=pid:1;fid:3927;cp:1252;ov:ov.img;tdb:neu.tdb;noov;notyp;nomdx;nomdr;noinst--mapfamilyname=mapdem --mapseriesname=mapdem --description="Test preview map" --routable=1 --highestroutable=24 --maxbits4overview=18 --hasdem=1 --hasprofile=1 --copyright=*I* -o . --overwrite ren mapdem.tdb mapdem.tdb_ ren neu.tdb mapdem.tdb del *.img
Of course, in your little demo we can not see a shading. But we can see the values for N, E and height in the basecamp status line.
By the way, be careful wit --usedummydata. It's only interest for sea-areas, where don't exist a HGT. But if a HGT for land is absent, we have a hole in our map without an error message!
