I've just started using the --generate-sea option, and it almost works. The problem is that of the UK, the whole of northern Scotland (north of a line through Stirling) is inverted - i.e. the land is blue and the sea is light yellow (black at night). This is inconvenient, as that's where I live.
I found that : applying --generate-sea to one tile works fine for my area, as long as I use --ignore-osm-bounds without --ignore-osm-bounds sea & land is reversed. applying --generate-sea on 4 tiles for my area, with --ignore-osm-bounds, 3 are correct and one is reversed. without --ignore-osm-bounds, the same 3 are reversed and the forth correct! Maybe you can play a bit with this in mind. Build a background map with only the coastline (using a style with only coastlines), in one tile, with --ignore-osm-bounds on. Build another map that is transparent and fits over the coastline map for routing (I find that --ignore-osm-bounds interferes with routing) Another question on this issue: all the sea polygons has an outline of a darker blue than the fill colour. Can this be changed in any way maybe by a subsequent run of MkGMap with an appropriate style file? What would the style file entry look like? BennieD
