Stephen, 1) Move the input file to the end of the parameter list. 2) Change the descrtion to e.g. canada-map, else splitter will try to read a file named "map" If that doesn't help, please provide the stack dump and the version you use.

converted a pbf file to osm with convert osm and pbftoosm the file size = 20 gb in size after a 937 mb pbf file

but when i go to split the 20 gb file into smaller parts before combining with mkgmap to img file .

the splitter has a major failure in the main section .

any ideas appreciated

You can split PBF files in splitter. Have you tried that? _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev

Hi, first problem is probably thej ava runtime parameter: -xmx1000m should be -Xmx1000m to be correct, and better something like -Xmx1500m or higher if your system allows that. Henning is right, --max-areas=1 tells splitter to re-read the input file for each area that it creates. This will be very slow. Gerd

Hi, you should remove --max-areas=1. This isn't useful, if you want to split your inputdata into several smaller parts ;)

Attached a small patch that extends a little and updates the information provided by splitter help and may save some time to new comers. Hope it's worth to commit it.

Thanks, that is now committed. Only thing is that --cache is completely unused, so I made that clear. It could be removed altogether, but would have to find the other places that it mentioned and fix them too. ..Steve
