[mkgmap-dev] Either mkgmap error or splitter error

Tue May 26 17:06:12 BST 2009

In my experience it is not possible to split the whole world (or Europe) 
  using a sensible max-nodes setting unless you settle with very small 
tiles. Western Netherlands and Denmark are problem areas, I manually 
divide failing tiles after an initial split using --max-nodes=1200000
