<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi all,
sorry, I think some mails where not sent to the list. I've attached a patch that adds a number to the city name when --geonames-file is used and multiple tiles
are close to that city.
I fear I don't know in what situation these names are important. So, please try if this improves something.
Gerd

Hi Randolph,
in what situation do you use these codes? I am happy with the mapids generated by splitter.

Hi, all,
The Definition of Google Plus Codes, a.k.a. Opern Location Codes, can be
found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Location_Code">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Location_Code</a>
The complete code also specifies, by its length, the size of the area
being described. When using them in splitter, I have never seen a tile
whose code was longer than 8 characters, an area 250m east to west and
125m north to south. I use the largest OLC centered on the tile in
question that fits within the tile.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi Gerd
I'd say that if the splitter is going to generate descriptions per tile
(geonames) it should generate one for each tile and, if there isn't a
centre of a city within the tile and no default description, it should
use a modified form of the nearest city to make it unique from a
possible adjacent tile that might use the same city.
Maybe something like "GB-~Basingstoke", but no solution is ideal and
there could still be duplicates.
The splitter could keep track of which names were have been used and,
for the ones outside the tile, added an increasing suffix number, so
would have "GB-Basingstoke-2" etc

Since I don't use these options for my maps I am unsure what is best.
The --geonames-file option tries to find a city within the calculated
tile. If none is found it either writes the value
given with --description or just a comment.
I think it would be best to always write the nearest city.
