[mkgmap-dev] creating precompiled boundaries with Derby DB?

Mon Feb 20 19:46:56 GMT 2012

Hi Gerd,

I don't veto against that but I don't see the big reason for that. 
Preparing boundaries must not be performed by anyone because they are 
downloadable on some sites. If you really like to create your own 
boundaries you can split the planet file into smaller pieces and merge 
them afterwards.
So in the end you have quite a lot of development work but not a big 
improvement. I think there are more important things to be reworked.

But that's just my singular opinion.
