Now what?

Contours work fine. I use Srtm2OSM to create the OSM files, then the mkgmap-splitter to split into tiles, then mkgmap to create the map. See http://www.kleineisel.de/blogs/index.php/osmmap/2009/09/17/how-to-make-a-top... for details. I have separate transparent overlay maps for the contours only. For the contour layers you can use this as a line style file: contour=elevation & contour_ext=elevation_minor { name '${ele|conv:m=>ft}'; } [0x20 resolution 23] contour=elevation & contour_ext=elevation_medium { name '${ele|conv:m=>ft}'; } [0x21 resolution 22] contour=elevation & contour_ext=elevation_major { name '${ele|conv:m=>ft}'; } [0x22 resolution 20] In the alps you can use the height files from viewfinderpanoramas.org for improved accuracy.

Contours or no contours? I would like to have them on my map too, actually.

AFAIK the contour feature was never finished, it worked only within the bounds of a single tile of SRTM data. If you want contours, use srtm2osm and add them to your data before calling mkgmap. OSM Composer is a GUI that can handle this for you. You can also use Groundtruth which has integrated contours. bye Nop
