I have the same problem on a Nüvi 250. Maps build with the
--road-name-pois option. On my etrex this works, but
not on the nuvi.

 AFAIK mkgmap is unable to get this feature working by now. To find an
 address you can use an alternative way: try the Spelling option to
 introduce the name of the street. 

I can't find this option on my nuvi...

 If I recall correctly, the --road-name-pois option is necessary for
 the address search. I do not have a Nüvi, but this works (more or
 less) on an eTrex. I believe I must always enter an arbitrary house
 number (such as 1) for the search to work properly.
Actually, on my GPSMap 76Cxs the address search kind-of-works even  
without using the --road-name-pois option*.  I have to enter a house  
number of some kind for it to work though (even if the destination  
doesn't actually have a number) and it only works for some addresses,  
but I haven't tested it fully as it's not a facility I actually need.

*At least, I haven't been enabling the --road-name-pois option when  
invoking mkgmap and I assume it isn't enabled by default.

Hi,

 Actually, on my GPSMap 76Cxs the address search kind-of-works even  
 without using the --road-name-pois option*.  I have to enter a house  
 number of some kind for it to work though (even if the destination

Enabling road name POIs does not help the address search function. It's
a completely separate function. It was provided as a cheap hack to get
some form of road name searching. Arguably, it works better than the
address search which, as we know, is less than perfect.

Cheers,

Mark

[mkgmap-dev] Garmin Nuvi asks province

2009-07-30 Thread Valentijn Sessink
Hi,

A bit of a strange thing: my Garmin mkgmap maps ask the provincie
(Province? State? County? Whatever you guys call it over there ;) when I
want to route to an address.

I normally build my map with country=Netherlands and country-abbr=NL,
I also tried no country and abbrev, but it keeps asking for a
Provincie. Whatever I enter, Garmin can't find it and this makes
routing to an address pretty much infeasible. On the regular map, it
just asks me if I'm in the Netherlands and then I can enter street and
city names.

java -enableassertions -Xmx1800m -jar
~/garmintest/mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --country-name= --country-abbr=
--family-name=Openstreetmap Netherlands `date -I` --latin1
--remove-short-arcs --lower-case --preserve-element-order
--location-autofill=1 --gmapsupp --route --net --tdbfile -c template.args

What am I doing wrong? I guess this is just a wrong option somewhere?

You're not doing anything wrong. It's a known problem with the address
finding. Basically, it's only semi-functional. Searching for addresses
or highway exits will probably never work well until the global index
stuff is implemented.
