In principle yes, but

a) I like to merge the OSM data and the SRTM data while they are still
osm-files, so that each garmin map tile combines both data sets. Then I
have them together visible in mapsource.

b) I want to cut from the weekly europe.osm file the area I am
interested in. Therefor I also need to specify the boundary for the
cutting. There are also others tools for such task, but I am using
splitter anyway.
