Hi, I did a test of the whole Benelux area plus border regions, splitted from the europe extract, and found a lot of cities in the border areas that were assigned to the wrong country. So I don't agree that admin_level=2 is working fine. I also observed a lot of elements that were not

Hi, stupid question: If the polygon points are sorted (i.e that area is always to the left side of the border; anti clockwise orientation ), then the multi polygon algorithm could know that solution 4 is incorrect. Stefan 2011/3/17 WanMil wmgc...@web.de I have a big problem to continue the

in general they are not sorted. only coastline ways are directional. I don't think there is any algorithmic approach to solve this. the only solution is to keep the whole relation in splitter or close the gaps in splitter before throwing away the rest. On 18 Mar 2011, at 7:43 , Stefan Schunck

I have a big problem to continue the development on the locator branch. I observed that a lot of admin_level boundaries (2,3,4,5 and sometimes 6,7,8,9,10,11) are not useable because they are not completely contained in the tile data. The polygons are closed automatically but this is only a

Hi Nakor, the way http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/34672931 is tagged wrong. It is an inner way of a relation which means it is *not* tagged with the relation tags. The way itself has no name tag and does not belong to any boundary relation as *outer* way. So in the end the branch
