Does it matter how many files there are? Anyhow it would be easily possible to use a subset of the files. When I post the next patch of the precompiled sea the input files have osm of pbf format. Using osm format it is possible to correct floodings manually with JOSM. So from my point of view the only reason to use the present coastline processing is that the precomiled sea uses not the very latest data and is compiled only from time to time. Ok, maybe a second one: Precompiled sea uses the multipolygon algorithm. But it would be quite easy to add the polygon variant if required.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v2] Precompiled sea
I have never looked at how the precompiled coastlines work. Maybe my extracted coastlines will remain useful in many cases after all. If so, I am happy to keep providing them. One advantage the extracted files definitely have is that I am updating them every day, based on the current Geofabrik extract. So the coastline should always be in sync with the rest of the map data. - Bartosz ___ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev

Is that really the case? Using precompiled sea for the whole world seems overkill - there are something like 56500 files in sea_20120331.zip file.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v2] Precompiled sea
I have just resumed my service that provides coastlines for use with the --coastlinefile option. European and planet-wide files are available at [1] as before. Once the new precompiled coastline code goes in, I guess my service will become obsolete and can go away again. But until then, feel free use the coastlines from there to work around flooding issues.
