[mkgmap-dev] Problem with splitter: Failed to find a correct split

From Patrik Brunner patrik.brunner at gmx.net on Fri Mar 25 09:35:28 GMT 2016

Gerd,

yes, it's a complicated world with these non-rectancular countries, 
can't we change that ? ;-)

I did some tests yesterday playing around with --no-trim and 
--polygon-files with Luxembourge (small enough to do quick tests), the 
result is not that much different if I'm skipping --no-trim or use the 
polygon file, the result ist still 'quite' rectancular, just a few bits 
are really left aside.... but I will have to do more tests with other 
countries (more complicated ones and bigger ones than LUX) to see if in 
my case I could/should skip --no-trim for building other maps too.

Regarding your implementation option:

  * I would rather prefer not having option 2) implemented for the same
    reason as you mention: it changes the default behaviour for
    everyone. And as we have to say that for (rough guess) 99% of the
    cases the actual behaviour is working that's too much.
  * I like option 3). But enabling that by default would possibly
    increase the time used to split as it first has to run through the
    file to see which bounds (bounds tag or calculated one) have to be
    used... but I'm sure you could answer that much better than me... ;-)
  * Option 1) is possibly the cheapest to implement ?

Thanks Patrik
