[mkgmap-dev] Size checks in splitter

From Steve Sgalowski steve.sgalowski at gmail.com on Sun Dec 4 09:36:02 GMT 2016

when splitting Australia in the osm file of 7 gb in size , that would be
usefull, as i set the max nodes to 90,000 to make smaller tiles as i get
 frequently , that there is not enough room in a single gmapsupp.img file
to hold all the data .
