[mkgmap-dev] Splitter --cache parameter

Wed Aug 26 01:00:50 BST 2009

Hi Francois,

Have a go with splitter r77. It should now detect what a cache from a previous 
splitter run contains. It will then reuse or regenerate it as is appropriate 
for the parameters you have provided to the current run. I've tested just 
about every combination of --split-file, --cache, and .osm file parameters 
I can think of, hopefully it'll do the right thing in all situations now. 
Give me a shout if you have any problems.
