No 1362 doesn't solve anything. Also gmaptool creates broken overview 
map (actually nothing visible at all). Seems to be a Mapsource 
limitation here (still the problem of lines near the boarder of the 
overview map sometimes getting kicked out once zoom into the second 
level from the lowest. (e.g. overview map = 13, 1 level at 16 second at 
18, once at 18 line will be not visible anymore).

Has anyone been able to view a worldmap mkgmap/cgpsmapper created in 
Mapsource (I think there is some prob +-80° with Mapsource - maybe thats 
why Asia overview maps seems to be broken)
