Post by: brotbuexe on May 07, 2012, 18:21:35
http://openmapsurfer.uni-hd.de (http://openmapsurfer.uni-hd.de) have two layers, a nice looking hill shade (sometimes a little extrem) and a contour line layer.

if it does not exist, create a /sdcard/locus/mapsOnline/custom/provider.xml and insert this text:
If it already exist edit it and just insert the <provider*> ... </provider> stuff inside the <providers> ... </providers> xml tags.

Now you have new maps you can use as overlays in 2.3.X (Main menu / Functions / Map overlays), you can add this function to the right toolbar for quicker use...
For the hill shade, if its too dark, just play with the opacity slider.

If you download them, you should never redownload them, because they will not change.

They also have their own background map (its not that different from the other osm maps):
