This way there should be no overlap with other installed maps on the same map ID. I might for next week also offer readymade gmapsupp.img of the contourlines (of course those are only useful for newer type GPS like Dakota, Oregon, edge 800, 62 series, Colorado, …. that accept several differently named "gmapsupp.img" files).
