Paint.net dies opening this image, and MS paint as well.I don't know how to open this file for editing.Actually, I set out to break this image (its a map of my area) and load it to my phone (moto rokr e6),which does not have a GPS at the moment.

TileMage is giving up the splitting as well, throwing out of memory exception !.

I know photoshop could do it, but I don't have the licence for it. Any freeware application to do this.

Can GIMP do it ?

Please advise. Thanks,

    Doesn't this kind of stuff belong on superuser.com if you aren't asking about how to handle this in code (and not just looking for an app that was well written)? – Peter T. LaComb Jr. Feb 13 '10 at 02:07

ImageMagick should be able to handle an image this large. convert is what you'd use. Just don't expect it to happen particularly quickly.

You can use imagemagick's stream command instead of convert. It uses only little RAM no matter how large the image is: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8756798/1034454
