[mkgmap-dev] Multipolygon/boundary relations and subrelations

Mon Jul 11 00:26:50 BST 2011

It appears someone (I can't find out who) likes the boundary_segments a 
lot. The three boundary_segments of Luxembourg now make up the 
Luxembourg border. That's in my opinion inconsistent with map_features 
and with the tagging of all other European countries. Personally I 
dislike boundary_segments: logically I understand it, although - also 
logically-  it should also be used on continents, regions, cities 
etcetera which would be uncontrollable

If nobody opposes I'll repair the Luxembourg border relation somewhere 
wednesday evening

Cheers, Johan
