Forgot to mention that data with extended types is still ignored. I don't know if this is supported in overview maps ?
If I got this right we have no existing code to read that kind of data, so it will require much more coding and testing.

Hi Minko,

> And how about points, like big cities, country and sea names, are they copied too to the overview map?

attached is version 2 of the patch. I've corrected the known errors and added the
methods to copy points. You have to add option --x-overview-add-points for that.
The three --x-overview-add-xxx options could probably be combined to e.g.
--x-overview-add-features=n
where n is a sum of points = 1 ,lines = 2 ,polygons = 4, but I leave that for later.

The compiled binary is here:
