what is the max limit on the gmapsupp .img file size? is there a reason why it wont go past 3 gb , even with keep going switch applied Stephen

I think it's because the GPS only recognizes 32-bit more than 4GB only applications with 64bit _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Anor C.

Hi, actually 4GB is file size limit of fat32, which is used by Garmin GPS and SD cards. You can create bigger img, but you won't be able to copy it to GPS. -- Best regards, Andrzej

Hi Stephen, the keep-going option effects only the creation of individual tiles. Your problem happens when the overview map is calculated, the problem is not related to 3GB or 4GB, it is about the limit in this single img file. As I said you are probably putting too much information into your overview map, to solve the problem you have to change your style or the overview-levels statement. If you don't create files fort the PC you don't need the overview map, so maybe use the option --no-tdbfile. But this will also tell mkgmap to avoid the creation of the ovm*.img files.
