[mkgmap-dev] Precompiled sea tiles contain no names - how to add names of sea, lagoons etc?

Hi Jörn,

do you know a source for the names? The input for mkgmap which is used to generate the precompiled data
doesn't contain the names. I guess it would be possible to implement an algo similar to that for the geonames-file
option in splitter. Or do you think that OSM contains the info?

Gerd

Hi developers,
I use the precompiled sea tiles
http://osm2.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/sea/latest/sea.zip as mentioned on
the mkgmap download site. Unfortunately the tiles do *not* contain names.
How can I add the names (at least in English, local languages would be nice)
to my maps? And no, precompiling on my own isn't the answer I'm looking for ;-)
Thanks for your ideas,
Joern
