Thanks Paul for the tips. The problem when I try this method is that after splitting the osm file, I have three osm files which I try to run through mkgmap. Two of them succeed but one of them still claims I need to split further:
SEVERE (BlockManager): overflowed directory with max block 202, current=203 There is not enough room in a single garmin map for all the input data The .osm file should be split into smaller pieces first. But even if I try to split this file again using splitter.jar I only get one file as output -- apparently it's already small enough according to splitter.jar but not mkgmap.
