<p>Could the admin_levels be made configurable in some way? There are considerable differences in the size of these areas between different countries. I am thinking particularly of the lower admin_level (5) which might be better set to 6 (or even 8) in the UK. Level 5 corresponds to "regions" which are basically only for statistics and some government stuff - not many people would know what region they are in (except they could probably guess because they are called things like "South East England"). Level 6 corresponds to Counties, and everyone uses them.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Andrzej,<br /><br />I tried using --boundary-tags=administrative <br />for splitter, the amount of additional data depends<br />on the size of the largest boundaries.<br /><br />Attached is a small patch that changes splitter so<br />that it keeps administrative boundaries complete<br />when the admin_level is between 5 and 11 (including).<br /><br />This doesn't add much data to the output files<br />in comparison to --boundary-tags=administrative <br />when splitting e.g. Brazil with --max-nodes=800000<br />and --output=o5m:<br />a) r422 output size: ~ 359 M <br />b) patched version : ~381 M <br />c) unpatched r422 with --boundary-tags=administrative: 402 M<br /><br />I've also tested the effect on mkgmap.<br />As expected, version a) produces some wrong / duplicate POI,<br />but I don't see them for b) or c).<br />The throughput is nearly identical, and the final img size is also almost equal.<br /><br />So, I think the patch is the best compromise.<br /><br />Gerd<br /><br /><br />
