I have a shapefile of property boundaries in my town (from MassGIS). It has a bunch of polygons, with metadata about size and lot number (from zoning maps, like R27-7). Eventually I might import this, but I'm going very slow on that and right now I'm trying to work out sensible conversions and garmin rendering. I used polyshp2osm.py and got closed ways with area=yes and some massgis-derived tags. This didn't turn into anything with mkgmap, which is what I expected. What I would like is to have thin lines rendered at the boundaries, and not necessarily anything else. Perhaps having an area to select for information and the lot # would be cool, but far less important. My thoughts are edit polyshp2osm.py to have different tags drop area=yes add boundary=lot # for now, and figure out what later add to mkgmap line style boundary=lot maps to something that shows up and then see how that goes. Any advice?
