No, only sea data. I think that we don't need the other stuff. It is 
contained in the img files. Of course the problem will be to handle them 
appropriately, e.g. the "Bodensee" might be split into several small 
polygons that might need to be reassembled for the overview map.
Yes, the sea data is also contained in the img files but we don't need 
to invent a new type of precompiled data and therefore it is quite easy 
to get high quality data.
