A question on general splitter operation: is it supposed to remove node references from ways if the node is outside the area bounding box?
All I can tell is that Osmosis does so. If it is too hard to remove the references to omitted nodes from the ways, I guess that we could tone down the mkgmap parser, so that it does not complain about this when reading osm.pbf. The XML parser already does not complain when reading. I tested the splitter osm.pbf output again on yesterday's dump. The resulting img files were smaller than the ones produced from the osm.gz output. Thus, I would believe that there is something wrong with the splitter osm.pbf output that causes mkgmap to think that polygons are no longer closed and must be omitted. Best regards, Marko
