Hi!

I am getting the error message "area too small to split" when running mkgmap. What does this mean?

It tries to split the area into subdivisions, such that there are less than certain number of points, for example, in each one. This might not be possible, for example if there are lots of points in the same place. So it eventually gives up and prints that message. Usually there will be no obvious problem with the resulting map but there may be problems due to exceeding the limits. Its all a bit uncertain since we don't know exactly what the limits are. Or it could just be a bug, there have been a few in the past, but less likely now. ..Steve
