[mkgmap-dev] Finding administrative areas

Sun Jul 29 18:33:23 BST 2012

When a custom style is used, does this completely replace the default 
style, or is the default style processed after the custom style? My 
custom style does not include the admin level rules. Do I need to 
incorporate them?

Thanks,

Roger
