that's fine. I noticed that the parameters for osmfilter described in the wiki did not include postalcode information. I've updated the wiki. So if you require postal codes please reload the wiki page.
While it is no problem to generate the europe bounds files as described on the wiki page, I always run out of memory for the world files.
Does somebody know how much memory is necessary?
Thanks, Thorsten
Hi Thorsten, I don't know how. But you don't need to create the bounds from a world file. It is possible to create the bounds for several overlapping subareas and to merge the bounds files afterwards. The areas must be selected in such a way that each country is completely contained at least in one subarea. Usually I am compiling 5 subareas: europe, africa, america, asia and australia-oceania. After you have the bounds files of your subareas you can merge them using the command: java -cp mkgmap.jar uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.boundary.BoundaryMerger <bounds1> <bounds2> <merge> where the parameters in <> are directories. So in the upper command the dir bounds1 and bounds2 are merged together in directory merge. WanMil
