[mkgmap-dev] Which .osm nodes/elements/attributes does mkgmap use &ignore?

You're very brave to think of translating kml into osm - in theory it 
shouldn't be a problem as both are txt files ; it may be that ignoring 
authorship/timestamps etc can affect the creation of an img file ; perhaps 
start with one node ; the bounds tag are essential for defining the area 
limits so you would have to work out the max and min lats / longs from your 
kml data.
Good luck!
