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 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. 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.

[mkgmap-dev] Garmin Nuvi asks province
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? Valentijn ___ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev

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.
