I would like to import the equivalent of boundary=administrative
relations from shape file(s) to mkgmap, for generating the address
search index with accurate city or region boundaries. The
boundary=administrative data for Finland in OSM is incomplete, and it
would be quite a bit of work to import the recently freed official data
to OSM.
I do not care that much if the boundaries are shown on the map. What I
mostly care about is that streets will be associated with the correct
region, city or suburb.
In the long term, I think that the boundary data does belong to OSM. So,
if importing the boundaries in a different format is too complicated, I
guess we will have to bite the bullet and import them to OSM.
