Map Updates February 3. 2012

Well this is my last map update from China. Not that it wasn't great here, but internet connection with workable speed for working stuff on the Server was a major PITA. Truly wouldn't be able to work from here for longer, everything takes 5-10 times as much time. So for fixing little stuff it took ages. Nevertheless as of tomorrow all openmtbmaps and velomaps should now have contourlines integrated -- this means all countries for which I offered contourlines previously/separately. Additionally now also the full Europe map has contourlines integrated.

For the velomaps that include contourlines, some bug that I didn't notice stopped the creation. I fixed it today and right now the Velomaps are uploading with contourlines. For the openmtbmap (well and actually also maps of Europe) I had a typo that meant that no altitude profile for routes is shown in Basecamp/Mapsource. I fixed this on the VeloMaps, but than if you deselect the contourlines the routing will crash. I'm thinking on how to fix it (I know how I could do it, but that would increase the filesize by about 10% because I would have to include separate search address index files) or if I should leave the status quo, or whether I should make it impossible to deselect the contourlines and thereby circumvent the problem....

I may add contourlines for some more countries, but not so sure yet. If so it will rather be on the "premium downloads" only available to donators....
