Hi Mark,
I didn't try your patch but the idea is good. It is also more compliant
to the rules described in the OSM wiki
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multipolygon#Tagging) than the
current implementation.
Mulitpolygon code should be reimplemented soon. As far as I am quite new
to mkgmap I will need some time to do this.
At the moment I see the following things to do:
1. Only simple polygons are supported. Lots of options described in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multipolygon#Advanced_multipolygons
are not implemented. I think the algorithm in the OSM wiki
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:multipolygon/Algorithm) is
a good starting point to make mkgmap implementation compatible. Some
rules about tagging are also described there.
2. The PolygonSplitter destroys the polygons created by the current
multipolygon code. Up to now I do not fully understand if thats a
problem or not. But I would feel better if someone could replace the
usage of the java.awt.Area class with some code that does not remove the
mulitpolygon connections between outer and inner rings.
3. Up to now the MultiPolygonRelation class does support one outer ring
only. This must be changed so that the MultiPolygonRelation class can
create multiple polygons in the garmin format. I do not fully understand
how the Garmin map is assembled from the mkgmap map format, so any hint
is appreciated.
