Oh, I didn't think of that because of the size of the OSM source file. This probably means that the tile is still too big, so I'll split it in two.
I've now looked at the tilesizes and I think that all the tiles with number 73240256 and higher are like this. Pretty much all of North America. I'll try to split those tiles in half as soon as possible (somewhere next week).
I've done more experimentation and can confirm that with mkgmap r1001 and a smallish osm file (from josm, about 10 MB), I get a map that has roads and seems to work fine on my GPS V, transferred with sendmap17Lstatic. Separately, I will have to tweak the style file because footpaths are only being rendered at extreme zoom levels (80m I think) when they would make sense at 300m: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.42369&lon=-71.49033&zoom=15&layers=0B00... The problem is that some kinds of items need to be rendered even at smaller map scales if there aren't other items around. These particular footpaths are as important as minor roads relative to their surroundings.
