not sure if they will like to host such a big amount of data. And upload through a webinterface isn't an options for so many tiles

I use mainly Roadtrip and all is scripted without install. If I absolutely need Mapsource then Mapset toolkit is sufficient and not much more complicated than starting an installer. I think mkgmap has also an option to create a a control file for a Mapsource installer with some 3rd party package tool. But once you mess up Mapsource Mapset Toolkit is a must have to clean broken registry.

have used this combination for a compromise of speed/size/precision. as said srtm data isn't that good and 10m seemed overkill. with NED data it's a different story
25m minor
100m medium
200m major
what did you use for medium and major contours?
