Help!
I live in the southern Philippines and have been adding a lot of roads in that area. The new tiles have put the southern tip of the Philippines in a large tile covering part of Indonesia, Timor, Papua New Guinea and a large part of Australia. If I download all of the Philippines it would also include part of southern China, Hong Kong, Macau, part of Taiwan and part of Japan.

I can make do with just the southern tip of the Philippines but is there a way I can cut off the thousands of square miles and the large number of major cities I don't need?

Yes. You can take my scripts for the Finnish Garmin map, replace europe/finland.osm.bz2 with asia/philippines.osm.bz2, and adapt areas.list and mkgmap.args after running splitter without areas.list.

If there are problems near the borders (such as some border lines not included in the map extract), you may want to get in touch with Frederik Ramm. In a few iterations, I fixed the cutting polygon of Finland, so that all borders are included and no lake multipolygons (lakes with islands) are divided by the cutting polygon.
