Thanks, Falcon... not really a secret, it's just a matter of extracting different elements from the ELV and TYP files, and turning them into different layers of coastline, elevations, etc., and working them all together.
I attempted in the past to make a tutorial, but soon gave up. It's more to do with Graphic Design than it is to do with mapmaking, and to have to describe all that in basic terms was just too much to get into. It's not a difficult process (takes me about an hour or two) but unless you have a few years Design experience already, my instructions won't mean much to you.
I'm always happy to make custom maps for anyone who wants one... just send me the ELV and TYP files and give me a few days to get to it.
