Contour lines not visible in Android app

[Dan Hoggarth]

Hi there. I'm a new OSMAnd user. I was hoping to be able to record tracks of my training hikes, and to view contours on maps, while out walking.  But I have a problem with the contours not being visible. I posted a question about this on help.openstreetmap.org but didn't get any solutions there, so am trying here. 

I've installed my local maps, all showing ok on my Android phone, and have downloaded the additional contour maps for my area, having paid the £1.99 to get the separate OsmAnd Contour lines plugin. But I can't figure out how to get the contours to be visible on the map, no matter what the zoom level is.  I can see the hill shading, but not the contours. My detailed settings are summarised below:

Osmand v1.7.5 

My phone: LG (Google) Nexus 4

Offline map (vector) files downloaded: Gb_england_north-east-england_europe.obf (also NW and SE)

Online and tile maps: Hillshade Great-britain europe.sqlitedb;  Mapnik

Contour lines data downloaded: Great-britain_england_europe.srtm.obf;  Great-britain_wales_europe.srtm.obf

Plugins activated: Online maps Logging services;  Contour lines

As a non-expert on all this, I wondered if the contour lines map should be selected somehow as an underlay or an overlay? But I'm not seeing anything with contours in the name when I check the list of options to choose for either of those (my Hillshade Great-britain europe data set is there, but not the contour line ones).

Would be grateful for any suggestions on where I might be going wrong.

Thanks.  Dan

Contour lines are only displayed with offline maps.
Have you checked which map is displayed? Go Map layers→Map source... Then 'Offline vector maps' should selected (otherwise contours won't appear).

Thanks for the quick reply. That worked to get the contours to appear but now the rest of the map has disappeared. And I get a message asking me to download the GB-england... Map which I already have. Do I need to activate it for offline viewing or something?

Sorry, but I really don't understand why the map has disappeared. Have you tried to zoom in?
