[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH]splitter memory usage

Tue Nov 8 18:19:58 GMT 2011

I can report that Splitter 183 works for me.

I did not pick up any adverse effects as yet.
My map has build fine, everything looks and feels normal and right.
Address search works as normal.
Routing as far as tested worked as normal.
As far as I can tell: no problem.

For the first time I could build my map from my older (favorite) machine.
It was always too big for splitter to handle on this machine.
Pentium 4; 3.2 GHz; 1G Ram; XP SP3
(That was astronomical when I got it!).
Splitter would just hang up, and I would have to start up my bigger, 
Windows 7-infected machine to get the job done.

largest PBF tile size after split: 15 702 kb
total map PBF approx 39 MB (6 tiles)
GMapSupp 58 MB
(I split Southern Africa from a GeoFabrik download of Africa)

I like it

Thanks for developing it.
Thanks for making it available to me, technofobe, to test
