[mkgmap-dev] memory requirements for generating planet bounds

Thu Feb 14 15:21:57 GMT 2013

as per 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/options#Using_preprocessed_bounds_for_the_address_index 
, i tried to generate bounds myself from a planet boundary extract 
(prepared with osmconvert/osmfilter like in the instructions on the same 
page).

java -cp mkgmap.jar 
uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.boundary.BoundaryPreprocessor 
<inputfile> <boundsdirectory>

that run out of the heap space of 2300 megs. before i try experimenting 
further, how much heap space is required for creating planet bounds from 
boundary extract ? :)
