Hi
I tried to find out why splitter uses the bounding box provided in the file. The feature was added by Chris Miller with splitter release 102 with this comment: "Added support for the <bounds/> tag in OSM files. Also added a --status-freq parameter to periodically display status information." I searched the archives to find out why this was done but found no hint, can anybody remember what problem he wanted to solve ?
I expect it was just implemented for completeness. I have a file from slightly earlier and it has a <bound> tag rather than a <bounds> tag. So <bounds> was probably newish around that time, I don't recall where it came from. ..Steve _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
