Start RouteConverter with more memory

The .exe build caps memory at 1024 MB, which can be too little for very large files. To raise the limit — for example to 2048 MB — run the .jar build for your operating system with a larger -Xmx value. Download the .jar from the downloads page.

Windows

  1. Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
  2. cd into the directory holding the downloaded .jar.
  3. Run java -Xmx2048m -jar <the-file>.jar.
  4. If you want the console output, copy it (Edit → Mark, then Edit → Copy).

macOS

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. cd into the directory holding the downloaded .jar.
  3. Run java -Xmx2048m -jar <the-file>.jar.

Linux

Run java -Xmx2048m -jar <the-file>.jar from a terminal in the download directory.

Notes

  • A larger heap needs a 64-bit Java VM, which in turn needs a 64-bit operating system.
  • On a 32-bit Java VM the limit tops out around 1280 MB; beyond that you need a 64-bit VM.
