Re: [talk-ph] Search by address on Garmin
Hi Carlos, To add to what Maning said, there is already some address data in OSM and it's already searchable in other tools. The OSM-PH Garmin map is compiled using the mkgmap software and the developers are still trying to make it fully work. You can read an overview of some of the issues here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/known_issues#Address_search In the meantime, we should continue adding address data into the OSM database because it's immediate useful for other people who don't use the Garmin map. :-) Eugene On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 6:13 PM, maning sambale wrote: > Dear carlos, > > There are some experimental implementations of address search.

Re: [talk-ph] Search by address on Garmin
Dear carlos, There are some experimental implementations of address search. I haven't looked into it in detail. But please do add address information more data means more opportunity to debug the mkgmap algorithms. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Address On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 6:51 PM, Carlos Tirona wrote: > Been wondering about this for quite some time. > > Why is it that I can't search by address on the Garmin? > Is it because of the data we have in the Philippine map? > If so, what can be done to fix this issue? > > Sometimes, if I need to find a location, I just input the intersecting > streets. > This doesn't work all the time.

[talk-ph] Search by address on Garmin
Been wondering about this for quite some time. Why is it that I can't search by address on the Garmin? Is it because of the data we have in the Philippine map? If so, what can be done to fix this issue? Sometimes, if I need to find a location, I just input the intersecting streets. This doesn't work all the time. And, well, for me to know the intersections, I more or less know the area already. Just looking for a way to make the maps more efficient.
