[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap multiple input files

Sun Jul 14 14:37:44 BST 2013

This is possible, I used to combine maps of different countries at mkgmap 
stage.

First split one map with --mapid=12310001, copy the resulting pbf files to 
mkgmap directory. Then the second map with --mapid=12320001; again copying 
the pbf files to mkgmap directory. Then call mkgmap with *.pbf, which will 
process both sets of pbf files into one map. I did notice a problem with the 
sea flooding if a coast was not closed though, this was between the British 
Isles and Sweden, which is why I stopped doing it. But that was before I 
started using precompiled sea tiles, that would probably have fixed that 
issue.

Thanks for information, multiple files in splitter is a useful feature.

Unfortunately this is not a substitute for my idea. I have problems with
splitter and big files, so I'd rather split some data separately and
merge them at mkgmap stage. For pbf files this can be done with osmosis,
but merging lasts about the same time as compiling with mkgmap, so I
could save some work with the new feature in mkgmap.

And what would be really interesting for me is merging pbf with mp
files. Or rather I should say merging OSM data with external data not
available in pbf format. There are many free data in shp format, that I
can easy change to mp, but not to osm/pbf, since available conversion
tools are very limited.
