</div>It is the bounding-box of all elements of the TMC LocationCodeList<br>
that state this TMC-area as their administrative area.<br>
It needs to be completely inside 2.6x the area of the OSM-Multipolygon/<br>
Poylgon so we know to not have a city of the same name in a wrong country<br>
or state.<br>

I think it is because we dont (at least not yet) have that polygon to work with, so thats why it was added.<br>However, NOW in Toronto (for example) we DO have those admin areas as polygons. (available, but not imported yet)<br>
<br>Would it not be then a relation which is attached to everything in the area, where that polygon (its self) does not get rendered?<br><br>(this topic was discussed before, does anyone remember what the verdict was on it?)<br>

</div>I don't understand what you mean with tile-boxes.<br>
