[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap can't handle multiple <bounds> elements generated by JOSM

Wed Jul 8 18:57:15 BST 2009

IMHO the multiple bounds should be 'merged', ie. all content inside any 
of the bounds should be included in the img file. This would allow to 
define more complexe shapes which are not rectangles.

It is not a must have feature, but this is, was I would expect to happen 
when more than one boundraries are given.
