[mkgmap-dev] Observations about file size

Fri Apr 14 14:12:32 BST 2023

Dear all

playing around with gmapsupp command line option for mkgmap i have to 
notice, that if i build a map with a file list according the list i have 
selected within mapsource, the result img file is way greater than the 
img file produced by mapsource. Anyone have an idea why ? Example, i 
selected a list of files for my europe map within mapsource it will be 
about 3.9 Gb. Using the list of files as a template.args for mkgmap, the 
produced file is about 4.7 Gb

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
