+The format used for Garmin maps has, in effect, a maximum size, meaning that
+you have to split an .osm file that contains large well mapped regions into
+a number of smaller tiles. This program does that. There are two stages of
+processing required. The first stage is to calculate what area each tile
+should cover, based on the distribution of nodes. The second stage writes
+out the nodes, ways and relations from the original .osm file into separate
+smaller .osm files, one for each area that was calculated in stage one.
