Mkgmap/help/scripts/Multilayer.py

Info

multilayer.py is a python script to generate a multilayer map for Garmin devices using mkgmap and gmt. This gives better control about the drawing order (i.e. rivers below roads) and enables the user to switch off unwanted layers in the device.

Status

Working, but work in progress.
