Hello Steve,

thanks for your feedback!

Okay, understood. I tried to set another tag in the style/relation file:

  type=multipolygon { apply { set mapthisto=ocean; } }

and wrote the following code into the style/polygon file:

  natural=water & mapthisto=ocean {name '${name} (See)' | 'See' } [0x28 resolution 14]

but mkgmap did not use polygon 0x28 for that lake. So the problem might lay
in the multipolygon code. 

Thank you very much & cheerio,

Volker

P.S.: I like mkgmap very much! It's great fun to adjust the osm data to my
special purpose, a garmin map for cycling. Especially new style feature 
gives me lots of new options. Great work, thanks a lot!
