How many output files?

Hi! Normally, I always got 1 .img output file for each .osm input file when running mkgmap (+1 overview map). In the last run, mkgmap seems to have created 2 .img files for every .osm file. I have never seen this before. The map looks good in MapSource. Is this a deliberate feature or a bug? What could possibly trigger this behaviour? bye Nop

Hi Nop, I guess that the --index (which creates the osmmap_mdr.img) is default in the newest releases!? Chris

Is it possible to switch the Index off? bye Nop

That should be still the case. I still see one .img for every .osm file. What options are you using and what are the names of the .img files that you are not expecting? ..Steve

Usually, I get 88220001.img through 88220176.img, in this case mkgmap produced 88220001.img through 88220352.img, but with no obvious duplicates. I could not reproduce this weird behaviour, all successive calls created 176 files as expected. But on a different note: The size of the .imgs has doubled since I last updated them and it barely fits into a 1GB SD card. How much space does the --index data take? Is there a way to leave out the indices and/or some other data to create leaner image files? I am working on a topo map, so I really only need the geometry and the searches are secondary. bye Nop
