[mkgmap-dev] Empty Areas in US West (Area too small to split)?

Thu May 5 15:07:31 BST 2011

Hi,

when I take the geofabrik US West extract, run it through splitter and then try to run mkgmap on it, I get errors on a couple of areas [1]. I tried reducing the max-nodes parameter for the splitter from 1000000 to 750000, that didn't help. The problem in this case seems to be not too many nodes, but rather *too few*. 

When I try loading those mentioned areas into JOSM, I get an error message: "No data found for this area." 

Mkgmap doesn't seem to handle this well. The map generation process stalls without any further error message. Could this be fixed?
I can provide the original us-west.osm.pbf on request. 

Regards,

Dominik
