[mkgmap-dev] splitter r428 : work-around for JOSM problem

Fri Feb 26 07:43:23 GMT 2016

Hi all,

I've changed splitter to write fake metadata (version, author, timestamp)

when using pbf output format. The change in the output files is minimal,

and it allows to open the output files in JOSM without using a tool like

osmconvert.

I can also change the output format of the xml files (osm.gz) to api 0.6.

This would mean that each element (node, way, relation) gets an additional

<version=1> string which increases the compressed file size by 2% and the

uncompressed xml file by ~ 12% , see attached patch splitter_josm_v1.patch .

Not sure if that makes sense ?
