<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi all,<br><br>I've noticed the following problem with boundary relations<br>(type=boundary, boundary=administrative), e.g. <br><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/170953" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/170953</a><br><br>is cut into pieces with the attached areas.list<br>By default, splitter will not keep them complete,<br>and it is likely that this relation appears in more than one tile.<br><br>When you use --add-pois-to-areas mkgmap will generate<br>a POI based on the existing data, and this POI will have the <br>tag place=city (for the example), so for each tile we calculate <br>different coordinates for the city POI.<br><br>I guess this happens with other relations as well.<br><br>You can solve this particular problem by telling splitter to keep<br>all administrative boundaries complete, but that will produce<br>a lot more data in each tile:<br>--boundary-tags=administrative<br><br>So, I see two possible solutions:<br>1) change splitter so that it keeps mp-relations complete when <br>they have a tag like place. A new option could specify a list of <br>those tags .<br>2) change mkgmap so that it doesn't generate a POI for <br>mp-relations with incomplete outer ways.<br><br>What do you think?<br><br>Gerd<br><br><br><br><br> </div></body>
