there is nearly no chance that a gzipped 36Mb osm file file fit into a .img tile. you will need to split it into smaller tiles.
Thanks. I was going by the docs on http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/page/tile-splitter which suggest "The default [for max-nodes] is fairly conservative, I think you could increase it quite a lot". Clearly not by 50% though. ;) I've rerun it with the default split and it coped with a 9Mb .gz happily, a 17.5Mb slowly (approx 1hr30), an 8Mb happily, but is now choking on a 27Mb one. Guess I'll keep trying while reducing the max-nodes value in the splitter. What that does mean is that I'll need to write a relation splitter, as the whole reason I'm doing this is to show cycle routes, and two of them have bitten the dust (too many tiles) even on the default split. I presume there isn't one already out there? cheers Richard
