I thought about that one too, but wouldn't that need a complete rewrite of the style system? You could solve it by reading in all streets, checking them for inclination, and then upon the inclination/height difference between every intersection provide a incline key, that you can then call upon in the style-file. I still wonder though about the amount of cpu power needed to get that data - knowing that my pc calculated about 12 hours (Pentium M 2.26GHz, by that time 2GB RAM, harddisk with 60MB/s average write, 65 read) on converting SRTM1" into Garmin contourlines with 10m seperation - for Austria only.

So my idea is, to virutally lengthen the roads by the height distance. This is, if a road has 1km and goes straight then it gets an entry of 1 km in the routing data.. If another road has a length of 1km and a height difference of 10m, then it gets a length entry of 1.1km.
Have you thought about changing the road_speed instead of the length? I.e. a road going up/downhill would get a lower road_speed than a flat one and when calculating a fastest route the Garmin should prefer the flat one. _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
