Perhaps contour-enabled maps should be a selectable/togglable option?

I expect most users would not need this information (e.g. for motorists) but for walkers/hikers/cyclists elevation profiles are useful to know.

Hi just new here but found the routeable UAE map excellent. I have been using ground truth to compile my own but this is not routeable. I have also used ground truth to generate a contour only map of the UAE which works great. I can use the same map with or without the contours showing so now have on road and offload maps in one device. Cool, many thanks.

One thing that might be worth doing if it's not possible to host the contours for the world... Is to indicate the map bounds so enabling a way to generate contours to match the map.

Also reducing the elevation resolution decreases the size of the contour map quite a lot. So I only show 100m contours which works great here as there are large areas of land which are fairly flat and other areas that are quite mountainous.

In any case I recomend looking at groundtruth to generate your contours to overlay on the osm map
