[mkgmap-dev] Problem with osmconvert pbf files

Thu Jan 3 13:25:34 GMT 2013

pbf files generated by osmconvert.exe appear to be incompatible with mkgmap.

 >Error at line 1, col 1
 >Bad file format: cumbria.pbf
 >Error parsing file

Test sequence:
1. compile a pbf file generated by splitter - good
2. convert this file to osm with osmconvert.exe and compile - good
3. convert the osm file back to pbf with osmconvert.exe and compile - fails.

Comparison of the 'before' and 'after' pbf files with a hex editor shows 
that they are very different (although they are the same at line 1 
column 1). The 'after' file is about 230k smaller (in about 5M) than the 
'before' file.

I am using osmconvert version 0.7N and mkgmap 2353.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?
