[mkgmap-dev] Duplicate cities

Thu May 21 16:00:14 BST 2015

Hi Andrzej,

I tried using --boundary-tags=administrative        
for splitter, the amount of additional data depends
on the size of the largest boundaries.

Attached is a small patch that changes splitter so
that it keeps administrative boundaries complete
when the admin_level is between 5 and 11 (including).

This doesn't add much data to the output files
in comparison to --boundary-tags=administrative        
when splitting e.g. Brazil with --max-nodes=800000
and --output=o5m:
a) r422 output size: ~ 359 M 
b) patched version : ~381 M 
c) unpatched r422 with  --boundary-tags=administrative: 402 M

I've also tested the effect on mkgmap.
As expected, version a) produces some wrong / duplicate POI,
but I don't see them for b) or c).
The throughput is nearly identical, and the final img size is also almost equal.

So, I think the patch is the best compromise.

Gerd
