HOW TO USE
Download MFM-SRTM.exe and install the map files into the folder where you have installed your MFM routable mapset. Our default folder is C:\Garmin\Malfreemaps. At the end of the installation, use the MFMTopo program to add the topo maps into your gmapsupp.img

COMBINING WITH MFM ROAD MAP
MFM-SRTM Map is designed to complement MFM's routable road maps. To view topo contours together with MFM main maps, install MFM v1.51 or later first. When you install MFM-SRTM, select "Add-on to MFM main mapset" as installation type.

Users of Mapsouce 6.15.x or later will find erratic road display on areas where contour polygons overlap roads. Therefore combining MFM-SRTM with the maim MFM mapset is not recommended if you are using Mapsouce 6.15.x or later.

DATA SOURCE
SRTM 90m digital elevation data version 4 from CGIAR-CSI. The original SRTM data released by USGS had been improved tremendously using new interpolation algorithms and better auxiliaty DEMs. The result is the elimination of most data voids or holes.

CONTOUR INTERVAL
MFM's SRTM topo map comprises contours with 10m intervals. Intermediate contours are spaced at 100m and major contours at 500m. This may not conform to the guideline of intermediate contours being 5x and major contours 10x of regular intervals but I find this configuration best both in terms of display and map file size.

Also, contour lines start only after 100m. This removes contour lines from urban areas and saves a lot of map space. The topo map is a handy 25MB in size.

OPTION TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN TOPO MAP
If you prefer your own topo map, you can compile your own using the Map ID of 60005010 or 60005020. Overwrite the original maps.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

• Can I use this map if I have another brand of GPS or navigational device?
  No. MFM map current supports only Garmin devices.
  
• Can I combine MFM-SRTM with MFM road map?
  Of course!
• Can I combine MFM-SRTM with maps from Malsingmaps?
  You cannot view the topo lines and MSM maps together in Mapsource. MFM-SRTM can be made to work with MSM maps with some tweaking.
• Why does the contour polygons cover some roads in Mapsource?
  Mapsource is not designed to handle multiple layers of maps. It gets confused when maps overlap. Please follow these steps
  
• Will contour polygons cover roads on my GPS device?
  No. Contour polygons will be in the background.

fantastic new year present! and

awesome new year present. way to go bro anthony.

while installing the topo v1.01, when I select create a standalone mapset, then click ok, it still asks do you want to add srtm contours to your mfm map? when i click no, there is no new topo mapset, the mfm mapset still exists untouched.

Thanks....

Bro antyong updated (SRTM Topo v1.01)...

Well done, bro Anthony!


Many for your contribution to the MFM community!

Not sure whether is my mapsource problem or other problem, but I can't view the road at certain area, for example, no road at Simpang Pulai - Cameron Highland road, but OK for Gunung Jerai road.
