Yes, would be interesting to know how Garmin solves this problem
e.g. in Africa. I don't know how many roundabouts they have which
are likely to fall into a mixed area.
I think Steve said that it is possible to use boundary nodes which are
not all on a straight line, so it would be possible to cut a administrative 
boundaries.
