Hi Minko, I think I managed to migrate the changes in the overview branch into the current trunk version. Attached is the patch, the compiled binary is available here: http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/95/mkgmap.jar overview_v1.patch <http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/file/n5754899/overview_v1.patch> I have added two options: --x-overview-add-lines --x-overview-add-polygons If you add both, you get the result as with the branch version. If prefer adding only the polygons to see the shape of the continent. By the way, the full img file for Africa has ~ 1.3 Mb. So, feel free to play with it and suggest changes. Gerd Minko-2 wrote

Today I tried the solution implemented by Steve in the overview branch , and although the code is more that two years old it seems to do what I suggested, so I wonder why it wasn't merged into the trunk. africa_overview.png <http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/file/n5754697/africa_overview.png>;
Hi Gerd
If I look at your overviewmap the coastline seems still very detailed. How many tiles is this overview map (just one?). Is it possible to use another shape for the continent(s) or maybe a filtered osm coastline that throws away all the small details like islands and stuff?
Is it possible to update this branch version so we can experiment a bit with the overview map? _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list
