English term or phrase: Major
Her er instruktionen:
The word "Major" is the in the context of map contours. The system has a configuration for showing Contour lines on a topographical map. There are Major and Minor contours.

Hovedlinjer ? (men hvis det er tilfældet, hvad er så 'minor contours'). Såvidt jeg kan se, anvendes 'contours' som højdekurver ?

er der gms eksperter, der kan komme til hjælp ?

Danish translation:hovedkonturlinjer
Explanation:
***hovedkonturlinjer*** og mindre konturlinjer

kilder:

Når der refereres til geografiske ting, såsom bjerge på topografiske kort, vises forskellene i højde af konturlinjer. Højden på et bjerg noteres ved det højeste punkt, eller tinden, og bliver typisk illustreret som en lille cirkel med højden over havets overflade i enten meter eller fod - eller begge.

***Contour lines come in two sizes – major and minor. Major contour lines show elevation every 100 feet or so (depends on the map). The major contour lines are darker than the other contour lines. Minor contour lines appear at intervals between the major contour lines. You can calculate the exact elevations by counting the number of minor contour lines that occur between the major contour lines.***
