[mkgmap-dev] [locator] Country specific rules

Sun May 8 00:43:26 BST 2011

 Hi Carlos, I know this problem, because I live in a city where exactly 
 that is the case. The solution for that as has been applied in the 
 Netherlands and Belgium is to use a lower level boundary: in Belgium 
 admin_level 9 is used as the primary boundary, in the Netherlands 
 admin_level 10 is used as primary boundary (both before admin_level 8 is 
 used in the style files).

 Cheers, Johan
