Hello, I want to create a high resolution image file (let's say 20 megapixels) or an svg image file of Belgium. I did install Maperitive and downloaded the osm.pbf file of Belgium. Now, it takes ages to open. What am I doing wrong? Thanks gijsbert asked 20 Dec '14, 22:55 Karel de Grote |
Consider shrinking down your filesize by removing tags that won't appear at the scale you print ;
OSMFILTER.EXE is a small program but does an excellent job. OSMFILTER -h to get the help answered 15 Jan '15, 16:53 DF45 |
To render 4GB with maperitive on you desktop will take some time. My last map sources were 44 MB and took eight seconds to render. The possibilities you have imho:

I am glad I could help you. If the answer solved your issue it would be nice if you could mark your question as answered, too.

also have a general look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendering and maybe in detail to bigmap2 and Nik4 tools

The osm.pbf file is 200 mb, that doesn't look too terrible. Looks like the unpacked version is 4 gb, is that too big?
thanks
I've been playing around with QGIS loading the osm,.... also contacted http://scalablemaps.com/ but they won't have the Belgium version soon. Any other suggestions? Looks like I need a supercomputer to do this.
You may have to wait a bit for an answer - it's a weekend and everyone's out mapping or shopping!
