[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap_locator choking if --index not given

Thu May 19 17:47:14 BST 2011

Okay even worse, on some countries mkgmap_locator does not work at all.

Downloaded today from Geofabrik and breaking up in eternety just 
producing a 0bit .img file: Serbia and Iceland,
Is it possible that if the bounds are not covering the full country, 
mkgmap_locator crashes??

I'm using the latest "published" Europe boundaries. At least Serbia 
shouldn't be affected by missing boundaries though....
