[mkgmap-dev] Making site relations visible

Mon Feb 23 12:03:46 GMT 2015

Hi Dave,

it is not possible now, but I think the needed calculation is not very
complicated.
We'd need a tag like mkgmap:calcPolygon=1 to tell mkgmap that it
should add a way containing the tags of the relation and the points
of the convex hull.
I'm busy with the housenumbers2 branch now, maybe someone can code this?
