Hi Gerd

If I look at your overviewmap the coastline seems still very detailed.
How many tiles is this overview map (just one?).
Is it possible to use another shape for the continent(s) or maybe a filtered
osm coastline that throws away all the small details like islands and stuff?

Is it possible to update this branch version so we can experiment a bit with the overview map?
