Hi Eric, what options do you use to update your map? If you download eg. germany.osm.pbf and later execute osmupdate.exe without a germany.poly you add all changes of planet to your osm file. Does that help? Gerd

Hi,
I am unsure this is the best place to post this, but have a question regarding creating maps with osm maps updated with osmupdate. I usually start from an .osm.pbf map downloaded from Geofabrik, and in order to avoid downloading it again, I use osmupdate to maintain it (or a converted .o5m version of it) up to date. I noticed that my maps were becoming bigger and bigger, days after days, but *bigger than a plain redownload* of the map on Geofabrik. 1. Is this normal? Does osmupdate just append the changelog to the original file? 2. mkgmap-produced maps become significantly bigger too: is it normal too? 3. If the changelog is just appended to the map, is there a way to rebuild it from scratch to get the same map than on Geofabrik?
Thanks for your help. Eric _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
