[mkgmap-dev] [locator] Europe boundary data for download

Sat Jun 18 17:07:38 BST 2011

Hi,

I have updated the european boundary data. You can download the data 
from yesterday at http://www.navmaps.eu/wanmil/europe_bounds_2011617.zip

I observed that the Geofabric polygons, which cover the continent 
without respect to country borders, are a bit suboptimal for the 
boundary generation, e.g. Spain has some parts in Africa (Ceuta).

Also the polygons were sometimes too sharp so that some boundary 
information is dropped. They have accepted corrections to the polygon 
files which should be used by now but they don't want to change the 
continent specific extract. That's ok but that also means that it is 
better to use your own dump to filter the boundary data.

Attached you find the polygon files I use to extract the continent data 
to create the precompiled boundaries. Maybe some of you find them useful.
