Hi Felix,
Finally I got time for this patch. The gmapsupp.img for Finland has
grown a lot, and much of it is probably due to Corine landuse imports.
I hope that this patch will scratch that itch too. :-) Now Finland is
finally liberated from unclosed polygons, too. I even got address search
working again on the Edge (without --index), by replacing
--charset=latin1 with --code-page=1252.

Right, there should be some method of simplifying and merging polygons
in the lowest resolution levels. Until we are there, it is probably best
to drop the polygons from the widest zooms. A good use case of merging
polygons would be the huge lake areas in Finland. If you look close, the
lakes are small and scattered. From bigger distance, it could be
approximated with one huge lake. But, currently the map does not show
any lakes when zooming out.
One thing that I do not understand in your patch is this:
< --- styles/default/options (revision 1902)
< +++ styles/default/options (working copy)
< @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@
< < # The levels specification for this style

< +levels = 0:24, 1:22, 2:21, 3:20, 4:19, 5:18, 6:16
Is the "resolution" a mkgmap-only entity, which is mapped to zoom layers
known as "levels" in the IMG file? If that is the case, wouldn't this
change introduce two more zoom layers to the map, potentially growing
the file size?
Regarding railways, you are lowering them to resolution 22, with one
exception: railway=subway&!(tunnel=yes) is resolution 21. I guess that
it is a typo and you meant 22. I think that this lowering is OK, because
Garmin would not show railways when zooming out from 500m, even in the
highest map detail level. They must really hate railways, I guess.
Best regards,
Marko
