Hi Steve,

I found this confusing comment in MapperBasedMapDataSource:

// Note we add directly to the shapes list, we do not add to // the overview section. mapper.addShape(background);

My understanding is that the addShape() method updates the overview section. I assume the code is correct and the comment should be removed?

Yes that is interesting. Originally the 0x4b00 shapes were deliberately omitted from the overview section. I don't recall why, but there must have been a reason at the time. Later this code was removed so that the 0x4b00 shapes are now added to the overview. See http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2011q4/013008.html and the thread for more context. So the comment should now be removed as it is no longer true. ..Steve
