Hi Gerd, I appreciate you for this explanation. Ok, I understand now. Maybe there is a reason to add another new processing algorithm in Mkgmap? How I see it: 1.

Hi Gerd, Probably the solution is to use background polygon trimmed by country/region area. I think GPS look for background at current position to determine which map to use for a search. Some GPS allow to select map, but mostly it goes automatically, GPS selects a map and then doesn't look f
