[mkgmap-dev] Trouble getting somemultipolygons to render inmkgmap

Sat Sep 25 10:48:11 BST 2010

Thanks for testing it. Before committing I would like to compare hard 
facts. How many mps are handled ok with the extended polygon tag list 
and how many mps are handled with the non polygon tag list.

Unfortunately I don't have time to do this. So anybody should feel free 
to start investigations.
