[mkgmap-dev] Question reg. precompiled bounds

Tue Jan 24 21:22:19 GMT 2012

Hi Gerd,

it depends on how exact you want to be.
In most cases you won't require building with a postal_code tag. But if 
the building contains a POI without a postal_code you might need it.
I know this example is a bit too meticulous but it shows the general 
problem we have unless there is a commonly used tagging for postal_code 
areas.
