The tracking tables used by the old version of the splitter can only track nodes that occur in at most 4 output files. (To handler borders correctly, nodes near a region are included in it.) The warnings indicate that nodes weren't written to a file that they should have been. That's bad. I suggest using a copy of the splitter generated from the crosby_integration branch. The code in that branch supports pbf input, runs faster, and doesn't have this limitation. http://www.mail-archive.com/mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk/msg07266.html
the command
java -jar splitter-r123/splitter.jar --mapid=400 --max-nodes=1000 --resolution=15 iso-nl-259.osm
did produce 30 output files. This may be too much, so I tried again with max-nodes=10000 (and resolution=15). Similar result : 30 output files. This time I logged the output via script : > 3 million lines of messages.
It sounds like the limit is the minimum size of a region. Note that this is a limitation of the part of the splitter that automatically finds splits. If areas.list is manually edited, smaller regions can be generated. You're hitting that minimum-area-size limit at anything under 10,000 nodes. The only fixes are either increase the resolution, or, for regions containing too many nodes, edit areas.list file and subdivide the regions that are too big. max-nodes=10000 , resolution=14 --> 6 files, "only" 120000 lines of
output in typescript.
BTW I also tried decreasing max-nodes without changing the resolution, this is what Felix wrote. That didn't work : the file never got split further.
So how do I describe what to do, in documentation for RoadMap users ?
First question is how many nodes can RoadMap handle? Scott
