[mkgmap-dev] Unusable maps generated from geofabrik-europe

Sun May 2 18:12:43 BST 2010

Since a couple of weeks all maps I build from Europe excerpts from 
Geofabrik crash MapSource. After having this problem with the same 
parameters I've been using for some time to build map of Iberian 
Peninsula (see [1] below) I have tried reducing max-nodes in the split, 
clipping europe.osm with osmosis before split, building all Europe map 
and anything I could imagine, but MapSource always crashes. Maps built 
from Spain (split), France (split), Portugal (not split) and Canary 
Islands (not split) excerpts work fine.
