[mkgmap-dev] trouble routing across extracts

Fri Jan 13 21:44:28 GMT 2012

Hi all,

Using splitter on the US state extracts from Geofabrik, I am unable to 
route across state boundaries.  On my Oregon 450 I get "route 
calculation error" after it sits at 80% for a while.

If I combine the extracts before splitting, then routing works.

Is this a known limitation?  Would it be feasible to teach splitter how 
to combine the extracts internally before splitting?  If not, what would 
it take to get mkgmap's routing to work across split extracts?

DETAILS:

The following produces a gmapsupp.img that does not support routing 
across state boundaries:

     STATES="massachusetts connecticut"
     for s in ${STATES}; do
         wget http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/north-america/us/${s}.osm.pbf
     done
     java -jar splitter.jar --no-trim *.osm.pbf
     java -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --route -c template.args

The following produces a gmapsupp.img that works as expected:

     combine() {
         unset args
         for f in "$@"; do
             case ${f} in *.osm.pbf) r="--rb";; *) r="--rx";; esac
             args="${args} ${r} ${f} --sort${args+ --merge}"
         done
	osmosis ${args} --wb combined.osm.pbf
     }
     rm -f combined.osm.pbf
     combine *.osm.pbf
     java -jar splitter.jar --no-trim combined.osm.pbf
     java -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --route -c template.args

Thanks,
Richard
