[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH] POI Addresses for areas

Sun Mar 8 15:26:21 GMT 2009

Hi Paul,

this order is controlled by the poi display flag in the TRE header. The 
possible values are:

0x0 -> Housenumber Streetname, City Zip
0x4 -> Streetname Housenumber, City Zip
0x8 -> Housenumber Streetname, Zip City
0xc -> Streetname Housenumber, Zip City

You should be able to control this flag per country in 
resources/LocatorConfig.xml with the poiDispFlag tag. Default is 0x0. 
For Germany, Austria and Switzerland I have set the poi display flag to 
0xc. I just checked with with my Nuvi the order looks ok for germany.

Since the flag is global for on TRE file we might get into trouble if 
the tree file contains more then one country with different settings. I 
think right now one country might overwrite the flag of another.

Berni.
