How to create the bounds for europe ?
In germany we have done some optimication concerning the index search. We have changed a lot of the admin_level names. In order to benefit from this changes I have tried to create the europe bounds. But this wasn't successful - I have tried it with mkgmap r2164 First try (Windows 7): java -Xmx7000M -jar ./tools/mkgmap/mkgmap.jar --createboundsfile=europe.osm.pbf --bounds=europebounds -> out of memory exception Second try (by Georg V., Linux): georg@unixserver:/mnt/sdd$ java -Xmx15000M -jar ~/Projekt/Europa/mkgmap-r2164/mkgmap.jar --createboundsfile=europe.osm.pbf --bounds=europebounds -> no result, killed after 12 hours Questions: What could be the problem (e.g. usage incorrect) ? What are the resource requirements for the creation process ? Regards - Klaus -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/How-to-create-the-bounds-for-europe-tp716434...

Hi Klaus, please read this wiki article: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/options#Using_precompiled_bou... Using the unfiltered europe dump will require tons of GB memory... WanMil

Klaus, that's fine. I noticed that the parameters for osmfilter described in the wiki did not include postalcode information. I've updated the wiki. So if you require postal codes please reload the wiki page. Please keep also in mind that the europe extract from geofabrik did not include the african areas of Spain some months ago. I don't know if that's still the case but it is possible the complete country information of spain is missing therefore. WanMil

While it is no problem to generate the europe bounds files as described on the wiki page, I always run out of memory for the world files. Does somebody know how much memory is necessary?

Hello, short question: Is the parameter "postal_code=" correct? I think this will extend the osm-file unnecessarily. We only want to get the postal_code&admin_level-boundaries, or? With this option we also get every street&building with a postal_code-key. Cheers, Martin Am 20.01.2012 um 17:55 schrieb Thorsten Kukuk:

Hi Martin, I tried to answer that before (you send me the same question off list) but your email account does not seem to be valid. All emails returned... Unfortunately there is no very common tagging system for postal_codes. The postal_code multipolygons are used mostly in Germany but only in very rare cases in other countries. This info is some months old so that might have been changed. Zip codes are not very well supported by our knowledge of the garmin format so I didn't invest much time to investigate the best combination of parameters. So maybe some of you can evalute which osmfilter parameters give best results. WanMil

Hi Thorsten, I don't know how. But you don't need to create the bounds from a world file. It is possible to create the bounds for several overlapping subareas and to merge the bounds files afterwards. The areas must be selected in such a way that each country is completely contained at least in one subarea. Usually I am compiling 5 subareas: europe, africa, america, asia and australia-oceania. After you have the bounds files of your subareas you can merge them using the command: java -cp mkgmap.jar uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.boundary.BoundaryMerger <bounds1> <bounds2> <merge> where the parameters in <> are directories. So in the upper command the dir bounds1 and bounds2 are merged together in directory merge. WanMil
