[mkgmap-dev] EU map too big?

Wed May 13 21:43:37 BST 2015

Hi Minko,

ah, ok, so you don't have the problem with the index files contained in the
5 parts.
I think you should wait for a comment from Steve regarding the limit, a
comment
i svn says that there is no known limit, so maybe the hard coded value
0xffffff is
not needed.
