Hi,
Countries like Ireland have a lot of small cities, villages, etc, for which an
admin_level boundary is inappropriate.
Instead, they may have a place=village boundary or something else like that. If
I understand correctly, when
--location-autofill=bounds is used, then only admin_level boundaries will be
picked up when trying to assign a
city for example. If --location-autofill=bounds,nearest is used then it will
use the nearest rule when an object is
not inside an appropriate admin_level boundary. That all sounds fine, except
for when the nearest "city" node is
inappropriate.
To make the locator part of mkgmap more flexible, would it be possible to have
the style file(s) dictate that a
mkgmap:city tag is assigned to an object when it lies inside a place=village
boundary (for example), as long as
it is not also (superseded) by being in an admin_level=8 boundary?
For your convenience, here is a list of our admin_boundaries

Thanks,
