How should mkgmap assign the mkgmap:place:* tags? Should it use the nearest algorithm? In this case isn't it rather the same like using location-autofill=nearest?
Can you please give a real example in which this helps? I want to understand the idea.

Currently the locator only handles administrative boundary polygons. It would be more flexible if it also supported place polygons.
eg We have a place=village area defined for Ballina village. An admin relation does not exist here as the village is not an administrative area in its own right.

Ballina swimming pool http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/510911604 is being assigned the address
Ballina Outdoor Swimming Pool Roolagh, County Tipperary, Ireland
Roolagh is a place=locality node outside the village boundary: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/566834144
If mkgmap Locator also supported place polygons we woudl be able to correctly assign the village name to addresses.
Why is the place polygon not tagged with boundary=administrative and an appropriate admin_level? Is this specific for Ireland? WanMil
