[mkgmap-dev] Error building DEM map

Tue Feb 27 22:06:00 GMT 2018

I'm facing an error compiling Algeria map with DEM, using SRTM1 hgt 
files. In a first run I use splitter as follows: java -Xmx6G -jar 
splitter.jar --max-nodes=2000000 
--geonames-file=geonames/cities15000_$ABR.zip --mapid=551${FID}001 
--output=o5m algeria.o5m
It gives 5 tiles and when I run mkgmap on them [1], it takes a very long 
time and finally it fails with "Number of MapFailedExceptions: 1" and a 
huge (+7GB) log file I could not read.
I have manually split problematic tile to a half its original size and 
then both resulting tiles fail to compile. After dividing them /2, 3 of 
the 4 tiles fail, but then mkgmap gives the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

And log contains over 10⁷ lines like this: WARNING (HGTConverter): 
55129161.o5m: height interpolation returns void at 30.837045,2.094557
After 2 more /2 divisions I could build all tiles.
