Problems when using (SLO)HRBH and custom Background Map

Post by DF »

Hello all,

recently noticed problems with proper displaying of (SLO)HRBH maps when BaseMap is custom like EUBM.img.
In that combination the contours aren't properly displayed ( invisible most of the time) and also polygon colors and linestyles of the (SLO)HRBH are altered.
Also some lines aren't visible.

Please use Magellan Default Background Map in combination with SLOHRBH/HRBH map or any other official Magellan topo maps !

Below are two examples of the problems in Summit Series Germany and HRBH map.

Alex,
please could you re-check this and fix if it's possible?

Hi Davor,

I presume, the screens are taken form VP with its default Background map? Or did you copy a 310 basemap to VP?
thanks for the heads-up. I'll check what I can do.

Hi Alex,

yes screenshot are taken from VP, once set with Default Background Map and once set with your EUBM.img

First time noticed this issue when GeoRouter posted screenshots from HRBH map in his post here on forum - http://magellanboard.de/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=5316 , and next time when Steffen sent me few screenshots ( he found what cause this ).

Today checked what's the situation with gps units ( x610 ) and custom Background Map and the situation isn't good.
Of course you can disable Background Map in the device and then map is properly displayed, but if the custom Background Map is enabled then HRBH map is quite useless ( most features are invisible ) !

Attached screenshots from x610 with both Background Maps,
left one is with Default Background Map and right is with custom EUBM.img

My advice would be to disable custom Background Map in the devices if you're using EUBM.img as Background map, and do not use EUBM.img in VP since it could seriously degrade usability of the new generations of Magellan maps which uses Skin files.

I have updated the Europe Basemap: http://maps4me.net/basemaps/basemap-europe It works for me now.
Could you check and if you confirm I would apply the fix to the other basemaps.

The new EUBM works. All the known issues with the HRBH map are gone.
