[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v2] - alpha patch to support road find by name

Sun Mar 15 10:59:14 GMT 2009

v2 - now generates correct sized city ref (wasn't being used yet
anyway!)

-----------

Hi,

The attached patch is for the current SVN trunk (r979) and it generates
the sorted road data that is required by the gps to find
roads/intersections by name.

For me, it's basically working on the etrex in that find now gives you
and option for finding addresses (and intersections but that hasn't
been tested). The number and city fields don't work yet, just the road
name field can be used.

The patch does include support for the city field but it's not yet
working because roads currently do not have a city assigned to them
(yes, I know the RNPs do but they are points). Bernhard, could you
please look at setting MapRoad's city object to the most applicable
city?

As for the number field, I haven't thought yet how that would get its
data.

Please test this patch and report success/failure.

If it doesn't break anything for anyone, I would like to commit it
fairly soon as I think that quite a few people will be happy to have
street finding added to the trunk.

Cheers,

Mark
