I'm using Garmin compatible maps from http://kartat.hylly.org">http://kartat.hylly.org which has the whole detailed maps of Finland. I travel much on trails and sometimes use the depth information on lakes. However, when I use the gmapsupp.img -file from the site on Oruxmaps, it shows some depth lines as zero.

On Garmin BaseCamp, they are shown as they really are,  1,5 metres and 3,0 metres.

How can I get them to show correctly on OruxMaps?

Hi;



You should see the depth lines in meters, if you have selected meters as altitude unit in settings--units.



The library rounds the values of altitude/depth lines to x10 values. Because of that you see 0 depth when you should see 1.5 or 3.5. I am going to change that behaviour and not round the values to x10 values.



BUT for depth points (not contour lines) I think the library is using feet, because it is not recognized as a number label. I will check that.

Yes, I have set every possible unit there is to correspond the International System of Units. Is this going to be an update for the next beta-version or can you make that change for the version that is stable now? I like the stable version better than the beta, so I would like to continue using the app without any registrations or logins.

Update works somewhat. Zoomed out it shows feet and zoomed in shows meters. Frustrating!
