Hi Felix, I've been away from splitter/mkgmap for a while so I may be wrong, but last I recall support for kml files was on the todo list for mkgmap but hadn't been implemented yet(?). If mkgmap does support kml files, perhaps it doesn't process the <description> tag correctly? What happens if you try running mkgmap with areas.list instead of a kml file? Chris FH> Now I would like that the file testkml is used to determine FH> input-filefor mkgmap and set the area name (if country-abbr is set FH> also that isfine too as it is present in the kml file). No matter FH> what options Igive testkml is not used. Am I trying to do something FH> which is notpossible yet, or am I overlooking something (If I just FH> feed mkgmapusing the splittet files, output is indifferent whether FH> or not I amusing the geonames-file option on splitter)?
