[mkgmap-dev] How to create the bounds for europe ?

Sun Jan 8 10:40:59 GMT 2012

Hi Klaus,

please read this wiki article: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/options#Using_precompiled_bounds_for_the_address_index

Using the unfiltered europe dump will require tons of GB memory...

> In germany we have done some optimication concerning the index search.
> We have changed a lot of the admin_level names.
> In order to benefit from this changes I have tried to create the europe
> bounds.
> But this wasn't successful - I have tried it with mkgmap r2164
>
> First try (Windows 7):
> java -Xmx7000M -jar ./tools/mkgmap/mkgmap.jar
> --createboundsfile=europe.osm.pbf --bounds=europebounds
> ->  out of memory exception
>
> Second try (by Georg V., Linux):
> georg at unixserver:/mnt/sdd$ java -Xmx15000M -jar
> ~/Projekt/Europa/mkgmap-r2164/mkgmap.jar --createboundsfile=europe.osm.pbf
> --bounds=europebounds
> ->  no result, killed after 12 hours
>
> Questions:
> What could be the problem (e.g. usage incorrect) ?
> What are the resource requirements for the creation process ?
>
> Regards - Klaus
