[mkgmap-dev] Finding administrative areas

Sun Jul 29 15:58:11 BST 2012

Hi Roger,

you can do that by using the precompiled bounds. The style file already 
contains rules to assign the country/region/city information. You can 
use similar rules for your purpose, e.g.:

mkgmap:admin_level6=Cumbria && highway=primary { set highway=secondary }

This example works only if you use the precompiled bounds. Read step 4 
of http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/How_to_create_a_map 
how to use them.
