[Maposmatic-dev] Problem with german city borders

[Matthias Meißer]

Hi I wrote to Thomas allready,

the problem is, that maposmatic doesn't recognize the german city borders.
The problem is, that the german borders are modelled a little bit different 
than the french ones.
We have differenz levels of cities, too (level 4 ( a own state), level 6 
(completely independent of a area) or level 7).
The description is here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Grenze

What about to collect the city landuse nodes instead and to try to find the 
corresponding boundary relation instead? This will make the result 
independend from the boundary level.
