r5r *not* throwing error for really large areas

rafapereirabr opened this issue · 8 comments

As mentioned in our FAQ, R5 does not process ares where the bbox of the OSM data exceeds the limit of 975000 km2. The expected behavior of {r5r} is to throw and error in these cases. Something lige:

Geographic extent of street layer (5315196 km2) exceeds limit of 975000 km2”

Nonetheless, {r5r} is not throwing this error. Instead, it prints a message saying that the network.dat file has been built, but the file is not written to disk. This has been reported now in different issues, including #389 #405 #406

Thank you for your response. I used a much smaller geographical extent and unfortunately I am still getting the error.

@bigdataforsocialjustice , how exactly did you crop the OSM data to a smaller area?

@rafapereirabr seems like at some point there will be a blacklist of OSM cropping tools in the {r5r} documentation )

I'm starting to think this could be a good idea lol

@bigdataforsocialjustice , could you please try cropping the OSM data using of the tool we suggest here ?
