Minko,

the GPX files are a first tool for debugging what happens. If you see 
that a given relation 297049 is in the .bnd file and covers the correct 
area than the problem must be elsewhere in the code.

Now you might start with the logfile of mkgmap. Set the log level of the 
class uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.LocationHook to FINE. You will 
get a really big logfile in which all assignments of the 
mkgmap:admin_levelX tags are logged. Unfortunately the element ids are 
not logged but the tags of the ways. So you might search for the name of 
your street in the logfiles.
