[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v8] - alpha patch to support road find by name

Wed Mar 18 14:37:15 GMT 2009

v8 - now supports zip records for roads (data comes
from addr:postcode tag). Also supports multiple ref names separated
by ";" (e.g. ref="A123;B999") and also int_ref, nat_ref and reg_ref.
Note that the limit is 4 labels max per road.

I have commented out the statement in the lines file that sets the name
to be ref if a name tag is not defined but have added code to do
essentially the same thing except that it will only assign the first
ref as the road name rather than all of the refs. i.e. if the name
tag is undefined and the ref tag is "A1234;E 99" it will use A1234 as
the road name.

Feedback/comments welcome.

Hi,

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

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
