[mkgmap-dev] crash. Too many tiles?

Sat Jan 29 11:53:37 GMT 2011

Hi Valentjin,

IIRC then there are some limitiations in the format, which don't allow 
more than 256 tiles in one img file.
There should be no exception but a clear error message, but I think it 
would not work anyway.

Regards,
Johann
