[mkgmap-dev] Problem with generating sea

Fri Jan 15 23:57:03 GMT 2010

Hello guys,
I'm trying to create a garmin map of australia.
I splitted the downloaded extract from GeoFabrik and used this 
template.args to compile:

family-id=4421
product-id=1
family-name=AU Base
draw-priority=25
transparent=no
charset=latin1
code-page=1252
style-file=..\mkgmap\styles\
style=default
name-tag-list=name:de,int_name,name:en,name
remove-short-arcs
overview-mapname=63000000
generate-sea=multipolygon
series-name=AU Base
tdbfile=yes

mapname: 63000001
description: AU Base
input-file: 63000001.osm.gz
mapname: 63000002
description: AU Base
input-file: 63000002.osm.gz
[...]
mapname: 63000011
description: AU Base
input-file: 63000011.osm.gz

But what I get now is a big mess-up. It looks like almost the continent 
is flooded :)

Is there a workaround to make that look better? Perhaps another 
generate-sea option?

If not, do I have to leave out the generate-sea option and be happy with 
just the coastline drawn as a pure black line?

Best regards
