This is true, but what you describe is an issue of mkgmap styles, not of splitter tile boundaries. I struggle to think why different people would particularly want to define different tiles, as long as the default set of tiles met sensible criteria (don't split major cities, don't include large amounts of empty sea, where possible don't include multiple countries etc). -- Charlie _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
