I had another go with splitter this morning and it worked out. But it's strange.
If I split Hungary into 3-4 pieces, the eastern part is usually OK. But even if I split Hungary into 33 pieces I get bad areas on the western part or near Budapest. I splitted it to 36 and it worked with this command:
java -Xmx1024m -jar splitter.jar --max-nodes=110000 c:\osm\osmdata\hungary.osm.pbf

But why is it that Eastern Hungary is OK with a million nodes? Is it because it's not so well mapped and it has less relations and/or errors? Can I somehow rejoin the parts to have less areas?

It would be useful if mkgmap would send a message which areas it couldn't render and why.

Another question:
Was I totally wrong using Osmosis to split the data or is there a method which works with routing? To have counties is a bit nicer. I used the following (obviously breaks data):
call osmosis.bat --read-pbf c:\osm\osmdata\hungary.osm.pbf --bounding-polygon file=c:\osm\osmdata\county_boundaries\pest.poly completeWays=no completeRelations=no clipIncompleteEntities=true --write-xml c:\osm\osmdata\counties\pest.osm

splitter should work fine with Hungary data and you'll get inter-tile
routing working. Can you provide the command you used to split the data?

If I remember right, -c option should be the last in you command line.
