as per http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/options#Using_preprocessed_bounds_for_the_address_index , i tried to generate bounds myself from a planet boundary extract (prepared with osmconvert/osmfilter like in the instructions on the same page).
java -cp mkgmap.jar uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.boundary.BoundaryPreprocessor <inputfile> <boundsdirectory> that run out of the heap space of 2300 megs. before i try experimenting further, how much heap space is required for creating planet bounds from boundary extract ? :) -- Rich _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
