Quote: So how do I go about creating a terrain map in Unity with contours?
I use the terrain.party website to create height maps of real world locations. Once the height maps are downloaded, you'll need to use Photoshop or Gimp or similar to convert them to .raw format, so that Unity can read them.
Once you have the height map in .raw format, you can create a terrain object in Unity and apply the height map to displace the geometry. I'll leave it to you to play with the settings etc. to get the effect you are looking for, but this should get you started...

@ Twan Gabhala
Thank You for your help too.
Yes I came across terrain Party website and tried it out.
It only allowed a maximum coverage of 60KM Sq
So I skipped that and created my own map in paint shop pro 5
Its a very old software (1995) but supports RAW format image editing/saving. I create a 256 color bitmap (png/gif), then convert it greyscale then export as RAW. I used it to make a simple map (one I could learn lessons from) in unity, before making the final map. It all helped me understand the scaling of Z (vertical axis) to the game world.

I was questioned today about my MAGA coffee mug by one of the black females at work today today.
"Who got that for you?"
Harmless query, or something more? I guess we'll see.

Donald is walking out of the White House and heading toward his limo, when a possible assassin steps forward and aims a gun.
A secret service agent, new on the job, shouts 'Mickey Mouse!'
This startles the would-be assassin and he is captured.
Later, the secret service agent's supervisor takes him aside and asks, 'What in the hell made you shout Mickey Mouse?'
Blushing, the agent replies, 'I got nervous. I meant to shout 'Donald, duck!'

As I just took my company's Corruption and Bribery training, maybe she was making sure it wasn't a gift to influence you.

Nobody influences me, because I'm a free-thinker.

As a free-thinker myself, I can be influenced by logical argument from shared postulates, or by showing me that my facts are wrong. The things that don't influence me are:
- Arguments from authority (e.g. "the Bible says so!").
- Arguments from abuse (e.g. "are you some kind of !@#$ atheist?")
- Arguments from irrelevance (e.g. "do you think that we were put on this Earth for just a moment of time?")
- ...
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Is it just me...? More and more (it seems especially over the past couple of weeks?) many sites are putting up increasingly intrusive cookie permission pop-ups. What used to be a simple, narrow banner at the top of the page or an animated small slide-down somewhere, has now become a full, or almost full, screen div that obliterates most, or even all, of the page content. The cookie messages frequently include stupid statements such as "these cookies are essential to proper operation of the site" when all it is is a tracking cookie. Half the time I can't even tell if I really want to visit the site / read the article because the sodding cookie message hides everything else.
Some give the option to accept cookies or to decline them; but many just have the option to accept or to not use the site. I realise the site owner has every right to put whatever conditions they like on their content, but it really winds me up. I'm finding that up to a dozen times a day I'm just right-clicking and choosing "Inspect element", then deleting the offending HTML element(s). This probably has no effect on the placement of cookies but I'm darned if I'm going to play the stupid games that the site authors clearly want to get involved in.

It's especially annoying on mobile where it takes up a third of the screen
|

A third? Some of them are up to 75% now.
With another 20% for the "Please install our mobile crapp" banner.
Anything left over is part of the first of many full-height banner ads scattered throughout the content.
But how else do you expect them to make money out of two paragraphs of "news" and a link to an article on another site?

You can thank the EU, right? Although a ton of US based sites do it too. It's probably for the same reason as why they put warning labels on clothing irons that it may be hot. Too afraid of being sued.

I saw this once - "Do not iron clothes while wearing"
I think if they removed all the warning labels, mother nature would take over, and things would be better for the survivors.

I agree. I'd also ban driver seat belts and airbags, and replace them with a 6" steel spike in the middle of the steering wheel with a prominent warning that "if you have an accident, you will die". I suspect that traffic would be a lot more polite and careful, and probably move a lot better as well. Once the initial fatalities had happened, of course.
Fewer drink drivers as well , after a month or so.
And good for the economy as well. (At least, once section of the economy)

A 6" spike should be warning enough.
A smaller, more refined gene pool.

Unfortunately, GDPR does not just apply to EU companies, it applies to services provided to EU citizens and residents. It is very specific about the requirements for explicit and excessively informed consent to use almost any user provided data. The penalties for non-compliance are quite severe, hence the wacky huge notifications.
