Map Theme Topo Map Elevation Units

Featured Replies

I am using Little NavMap to create routes in the mountains of Papau New Guinea. Both OpenTopo Map and Tiler Map Topo show the elevation lines in Meters, not Feet. I believe I have the units of measure set properly in the program. I assume it is the map product as drawn that has to change. Does anyone know of a Little NavMap Topo Map Theme that shows Papau New Guinea elevation lines in feet?

You can try another map theme which shows feet but most use the local unit for the shown country.

You can create an account at MapBox and create you own map theme showing all elevations in feet in the MapBox Studio.
It's a bit of an effort but at least it is free.

You can also create a new map in Mapbox and select to upload a style. Then select the file here:

This is a copy my own map style which shows elevation contour labels in feet everywhere.

See https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/latest/en/MAPTHEMES.html and https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/latest/en/OPTIONS.html#map-display-keys for more information.

I give it a try but it might be beyond me.  I actually looked at he area around Colorado, USA using the Open Topo them and that was still in meters. That does not match the US system.
