Maybe that's a hint how you can solve that yourself.
Instead of assigning the country (CAN - Canada) and a region (Ontario)
you might assign the province as country: ONT - Canada Ontario .
To do this you must add your provinces to the LocationHook.xml file and
add the country redefinition rule
mkgmap:country=CAN && mkgmap:admin_level4=* { set
mkgmap:country='${mkgmap:admin_level=4}' }

In case there is a tag with the short name add this tag to the
name-tag-list option.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] how to make address search aware of the Canadian provinces?
Hi Ben,
your approach is correct.
But I don't know which field are used by the builtin map. So maybe it is
not possible to have the same functionality with mkgmap generated maps.
Can you please what information/address is displayed if you select a POI
on your mkgmap generated map. Is the province name displayed? If not
then you should check the log file if mkgmap really finds your bounds
directory.

[mkgmap-dev] how to make address search aware of the Canadian provinces?
Hi,
I'm generating a map of Canada with this command:
java -jar mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --latin1 --gmapsupp --min-size-polygon \
--series-name="OSM Canada" --family-name="OpenStreetMap Canada 08 May 2012" \
--index --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --bounds=bounds
--add-pois-to-areas \
--pois-to-areas-placement="entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance" \
--check-roundabout-flares --route --remove-short-arcs
--drive-on-right --check-roundabouts \
--family-id=34244 --product-id=1 --road-name-pois \
--generate-sea="extend-sea-sectors,multipolygon,floodblocker"
--make-all-cycleways \
-c template.args --description="OSM Canada"
I'd like to know if it's possible to get the address search to be
aware of the provinces. For example, on the built-in map of my Nuvi
255w, the GPS "knows" that I'm in Ontario and gives me the option to
change the 'state/country'. Here's a screenshot that shows this
behaviour:
http://bagu.org/scratch/nuvi-255w-address-search-builtin-map.bmp
With the mkgmap generated maps, the GPS only "knows" that I'm in
Canada. Here's a screenshot showing this behaviour:
http://bagu.org/scratch/nuvi-255w-address-search-mkgmap-osm-map.bmp
I've added these lines to the points, lines and polygons style files
to setup the Canadian boundaries:
# Canada = CAN
mkgmap:country=CAN & mkgmap:region!=* & mkgmap:admin_level4=* { set
mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level4}' }
mkgmap:country=CAN & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set
mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' }
Side note: I can make a patch to the default style with these lines if
people are interested in having this included with mkgmap.
Does anybody know how I can get the GPS to be aware of the province
with my mkgmap generated map?
Thanks, Ben
