Note that I don't put the line "mapname: 10010101.img" in the line above with "description: contourmap" because this causes that the contours dont show up in Mapsource. If I leave mapname etc out, it shows the contourlines.
No way! Is this why I can't get contour lines to display in MapSource (even though I know they're there because I can see the contour elevation labels)??? I'd given up on ever getting contours to work properly in MapSource. Prize for obscurest workaround of the year so far if this works. ;)
Highly off topic: 1. Check: Countourlines have to have exactly the same resolution as normal maps (if normal maps 24,22,20,18 countourline maps have to be 24,22,20 (you can skip the 18) - if normal maps are 24,23,22,21,20 then well, your contourline maps need to be also 24,23,22,21,20 - as soon as you leave out a resolution they won't be displayed anymore) 2. Contourline maps have to have higher mapname. --- both is irrelevant if you use basecamp or on GPS, which always shows contourlines if inside same tdb. Problem is 1, in general contourlines work better if you have 23,21,20 as levels on GPS or for Qlandkarte GT. DEM3 data, is not good enough resolution to justify the 2x space / render requirements of res 23.)
