[mkgmap-dev] What is this error actually telling me.

Fri Jul 23 22:06:51 BST 2021

SEVERE (global): The RGN section of the map or tile is too big. The 
maximum size is 16777215 bytes. Try splitting the map into smaller tiles 
or reducing the amount of information included in the map.

With last year's versions, this worked.

What is the fix?

I osmosis combined the pbf files from geofabrik.de for north, central, 
and south America using osmosis, which appeared to have worked without 
problems. The pbfs were down loaded in the last two weeks.

There were some roundabout errors from splitter.

I get the error message above from mkgmap.
