This is possible, I used to combine maps of different countries at mkgmap stage. First split one map with --mapid=12310001, copy the resulting pbf files to mkgmap directory. Then the second map with --mapid=12320001; again copying the pbf files to mkgmap directory. Then call mkgmap with *.pbf, which will process both sets of pbf files into one map. I did notice a problem with the sea flooding if a coast was not closed though, this was between the British Isles and Sweden, which is why I stopped doing it. But that was before I started using precompiled sea tiles, that would probably have fixed that issue.

splitter can do that for you with some limitations. keep-complete will only handle first given file to splitter. This is quite useful if you give splitter a normal osm-file and a srtm-data-file. So it's merged within splitter and you get all data in your tiles.
Thanks for information, multiple files in splitter is a useful feature. Unfortunately this is not a substitute for my idea. I have problems with splitter and big files, so I'd rather split some data separately and merge them at mkgmap stage. For pbf files this can be done with osmosis, but merging lasts about the same time as compiling with mkgmap, so I could save some work with the new feature in mkgmap. And what would be really interesting for me is merging pbf with mp files. Or rather I should say merging OSM data with external data not available in pbf format. There are many free data in shp format, that I can easy change to mp, but not to osm/pbf, since available conversion tools are very limited. -- Best regards Andrzej _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
