Hi, although I use 3" hgt files, 3312 looks much more detailed than 9942? ________________________________ Van: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> namens Gerd Petermann <GPetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com> Verzonden: zaterdag 23 december 2017 03:33:30 Aan: Development list for mkgmap Onderwerp: [mkgmap-dev] WG: r4015 in dem-tdb branch implements --x-overview-dem-dist Hi! I've just noticed that I replied to Minko instead of the list. Please see below.

When you use 3'' hgt files (size is ~2.8MB) the resolution in that data is 2^32/(360 * 1200) ~ 9942. When you use 1'' hgt files (size is ~26MB) the resolution in that data is 2^32/(360 * 3600) ~ 3314. The current implementation in mkgmap interpolates the values found in the hgt file. It assumes continous slope between two points at the same lat, so e.g. if one is 123 and the other is 135, it assumes that a point in the middle is at 129. I assumed that the Garmin algo does something similar when calculating the heights, but maybe it doesn't. I did not yet try to find out the best values for dem-dists, so it would be good to hear about results.

I have tested a few tiles, I noticed that BuildDEMFile with--dlon=0.00027761 has a much more detailed relief than the default values x-dem-dists=5520, 16560, 44176, 88368 How can I get the same results as with dlon=0.00027761? _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
