I've just checked in some further changes to the splitter that some of you may be interested in. It now has support for the <bounds/> tag in OSM files. The splitter will now ensure the resultant split OSM files all fall within the <bounds/> specified in the source file. The advantage is that it means the splitter can be called recursively without growing the tile borders. If for example one of the OSM files generated is too big to process via mkgmap successfully, you can run the splitter on it again with a smaller --max-nodes value to split it further, and all tile boundaries will meet up nicely without overlapping any of the other tiles. Previously that wasn't the case.
I've also added a --status-freq parameter that will cause the splitter to periodically output elapsed time and memory status information. This defaults to 120 seconds, you can disable it if you want with --status-freq=0.
Enjoy, Chris
Thanks a lot for this new feature Chris! It makes automatic map generation so much easier.
