Hi!

Did you ever think about merging areas mapped to the same garmin type when they 
touch?
I'm thinking about an algorithm that for each zoom level checks, if two areas 
touch, and when yes merge them when they have the same garmin type.

The motivation: At the moment, areas that are mapped with lots of details can 
completely go lost in low zoom levels. The detailed areas are removed because 
they are below the minimum polygon size.
At these low zoom levels, it can happen that after rounding of the coordinates 
the areas touch. I think the user would prefer to see the merged area in the 
low zoom level, when in the higher zoom level the area is almost completely 
covered with one type.

The algorithm shall probably be only used for landuse types. For other types 
(building=* for example), it would lead to undesired behaviour (mark in 
polygons stylefile?).

Cheers,
Daniel
