Hi Gerd,

I would suggest that a common osm-file format would be the easiest way
for most of the users (who generating maps out of osm-data and are
used to josm).

The next question is: Should there only be a non-rectangular border of
the hole map or for each tile?

Eg. If I want to have a map of Germany with the shape of Germany and
also tiles shaping the federal states (Bundesländer), it would be
necessary to tell splitter or mkgmap in the end what is outside border
and which borders are inside the map. Or am I wrong?

Henning
