<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Henning,<br><br><div>> <br>> I would suggest that a common osm-file format would be the easiest way<br>> for most of the users (who generating maps out of osm-data and are<br>> used to josm).<br>> <br>> The next question is: Should there only be a non-rectangular border of<br>> the hole map or for each tile?<br>> <br>> Eg. If I want to have a map of Germany with the shape of Germany and<br>> also tiles shaping the federal states (Bundesländer), it would be<br>> necessary to tell splitter or mkgmap in the end what is outside border<br>> and which borders are inside the map. Or am I wrong?<br><br>I think that depends on how well the routing works at the borders.<br>You may start building the tiles for the Bundesländer and combine them to<br>Germany, if that works well.<br><br>Gerd <br></div>                                            </div></body>
