Thanks Gerd,
I've been adding/fixing city boundaries in my area, so I'm trying to create
my own bounds file. If an admin_level2 can't be found, does it use the
*--country-abbr
*option?

Hi Brian,
I think your problem is caused by the fact that your input file doesn't
contain the boundary for the USA.
That's the reason for the --bounds option, the typical use is to download
the boundaries for planet
from e.g.
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/download/mkgmap.html
If you want to create your own bounds file, you should make sure to have
complete continents.
The style rules in the inc/address file expect that
mkgmap:admin_level2=USA
but this will not happen if the bounds file doesn't contain enough of the
boundary.

Subject: [mkgmap-dev] Building northeast map
I've built my own gmappsup for the US Northeast and loaded it into my
Garmin. My script for doing so is roughly as follows:
[[ us-northeast-latest.osm.bz2 -nt northeast.om5 ]] bzcat
us-northeast-latest.osm.bz2 | ../osmconvert/osmconvert - -o=northeast.om5
[[ northeast.om5 -nt northeast-boundaries.o5m ]] ../osmfilter/osmfilter
northeast.om5 --keep-nodes= --keep-ways-relations=boundary=administrative
=postal_code postal_code= -o=northeast-boundaries.o5m
java -cp ../mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar
uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.boundary.BoundaryPreprocessor
northeast-boundaries.o5m bounds/
java -jar ../mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar \
--gmapsupp \
--mapname=20355490 \
--description=Northeast United States \
--country-name=United States \
--country-abbr=US \
--region-name=Northeast \
--region-abbr=NE \
--index \
--location-autofill=nearest \
--housenumbers \
--route \
--add-pois-to-areas \
--bounds=bounds \
--add-pois-to-areas \
--process-destination \
--process-exits \
*.osm.pbf
I've loaded the result onto my Garmin Nuvi. When I attempt to do an
address search, it first asks me for the City, but the cities I'm looking
for don't show up in the search. Oddly, when it shows the closest cities I
can see some of them, but when I do a text search it shows distant
oddballs. For example, with 'New York', I see:
New York, FL
New York, TX
New York Mills, MN
None of these are the New York I'm looking for. I don't even think they
are in my input file, but are perhaps coming from the internal memory on my
GPS.
It does appear the NYC addresses are working better - I can see the Bronx
Zoo is in The Bronx and Carnegie Hall is in New York, however, I can't key
in an address to see if it works because of the address search issue.
Another thing which has me puzzled is why some POIs are not showing the
city/state. For example Desert Moon Grille
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3139391561 is in Danbury
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/33271879, Connecticut. I can find it
doing a Food POI search. That works fine. But, when I select it, it shows
Not_set, Fairfield County. Nomination gets the address perfect: Desert
Moon Fresh Mexican Grille, 113, Mill Plain Road, Danbury, Fairfield County,
Connecticut, United States of America
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3139391561 . I'm compiling my own
bounds file, so I'm surprised it hasn't worked.
