I have experimented with "polygons" in the past but this was unsuccessful. May be due to the problem you have found yet.

Could you explain the basic difference between "multipolygon" and "polygons" ? And what is the advantage of "polygons" ?

Thanks - Klaus

The advantage is quite specific, but for older GPS units where you cannot change the background polygon colour, --generate-sea:multipolygon creates maps which display land as "Garmin yellow". --generate-sea:polygons on the other hand creates a land polygon which you can specify in a TYP file, which is much nicer. :) -- Charlie
