It means that there is more than 256 points in a single subdivision. You 
can't have this in the index, so any such points are just not included 
and the messages is printed.

However, mkgmap is supposed to ensure that all subdivisions have less 
points than that. So I would expect a previous 'Area too small to split' 
message when compiling the tile.

I see the Henning's reply that he does in fact get that message.

The index should be fine, apart from possibly missing a few entries. In 
your particular file the affected points are all swimming pools without 
a name, so would not be in the index anyway.
