yes, and they are typically so large that different POI are far from
each other.

Hmm, splitter keeps most mp-relations complete, we only
exclude some boundary relations. I think this thread shows why:
http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/splitter-relations-to-be-checked-with-keep-complete-true-tp5740576p5741061.htmlSo, question remains:
Should we change something in one of the programs?
