I would like to ask if it's possible and if so how, to merge the ''OFRM_IZO.img'' with the actual ''gmapsupptopo.img'' so i can see them both, the map and the conture lines, on the mapsource. Any help will be highly appreciated!

yes I guess, with GMaptool, I have already done that with other maps.
The expert's version of how to do it...Quote:

Use Gmaptool first to Join the two .img files into one "mapset" .img file and then use Gmaptool again to Split the "mapset" .img file for use in Mapsource or Basecamp.
The beginner's version of how to do it....
Spoiler: .
Mapsource can't display this mapset correctly, it draws the height contour lines "under" the solid green polygons of vegetation on the mountains.
To view this map correctly you must use Basecamp and because it is a 3D map, you can view it in 3D Bascamp's mode!

I don't know how to thank you enough x-trail!! I've followed your instructions and i have now a map with beautiful contour lines but ........ only on the basecamp. I didn't eventually managed to view the lines on the mapsource (only the contour numbers). Also if i may ask, why i can see basecamp only in 2D? Anyhow thank you again.
Did you do everything as I've described above?
Mapsource is an old and unsupported program for those complicated maps.
I've downloaded and used TOPO LAT.rar from post #5
This map has embedded digital elevation data in every sub-file (tile), so it can be displayed in 3D mode in devices and Basecamp.
Below is the gmapsupp.img (Topo Lat.rar) as it's displayed in a nuvi connected to Basecamp in "both 2D/3D" mode and the other screenshot is the "Mapsource installed" mapset with contour lines (gmapsupp.img+OFRM_IZO.img from Topo Lat.rar)

I did everything you've write, to the letter. I prefer to work with the Mapsource because i'm more familiar with it, although i know that it's an older program. As for 2D display of the Basecamp i've read somewhere that must be something wrong with my graphic card. For the 3D mode i don't really care because my device is a GPSMAP 60CSx. Thanks again for your time x-trail!
Older video cards, even some more recent ones on the MO, may not even have a capability to display 3D in BaseCamp at all, if that's not the problem recent discussion Page 2 [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] may give you some other solutions.
Thanks Neil!
Guys i'm speechless, how generous of you to help me out!
