[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap ToDo list

Fri Apr 25 18:27:09 BST 2014

Hi Gerd,
splitter is able to write a density file, which stores the density of 
OSM-nodes in the specific area. Afterwards the file is splitted and 
processed by mkgmap. mkgmap will use only the objects, which are 
addressed in style-file.

Example: In a rectangle of 100x100m are 5 nodes belonging to a highway 
and 10 nodes belonging to POI, and polygones and style-file only 
contains highways, mkgmap writes only 5 nodes (and one line) to img-file.

For an more effictive splitting of tiles I would imagine, that a 
density-file created by mkgmap based on the written data will be much 
better then the file written by splitter.
