[mkgmap-dev] Multilayer Map in MapSource?

Sat Dec 19 10:07:57 GMT 2009

Hey charlie,
thanks for the clue. That was the reason for the problem.

So for everyone with the same problem:
You have to use the mixed switch with the mkgmap splitter because 
otherwise it will only parse the osm-file until it finds the first way- 
or relation-tag.

Now I need to optimize the process :)

Thank you and happy holidays!
