Velentijn Sessink mentioned this problem in a post on 21 July 09, but I 
think his solution will not help you because his patch was for the 
splitter, not mkgmap. If this is valid syntax, then I think mkgmap 
should not process the road.

Your command-line is correct for test maps, but as you get things 
working you should start using other options so your maps have unique 
names and numbers. Observe the command lines used by others on this list 
when they post about problems, and read the documentation. This is just 
one example of a script file I used for a map I made.

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
    java -ea -jar ./mkgmap-1285/mkgmap.jar --mapname=55470011 
--description=SouthAfrica --country-name=SouthAfrica --index 
--country-abbr=SA --family-id=5547 --family-name=SAfr 
--description=SA_RM --overview-mapname=55470010 --remove-short-arcs=5 
--tdbfile --route "$1"
else
    echo "Usage"
    echo "./buildsa.sh filename"
fi
