[mkgmap-dev] Missing cities in mapsource search entry field

Thu Jan 28 15:49:42 GMT 2010

recreated it one more time, then "Madau" became searchable. Not able to 
enter any street starting with "Ma" this time however. Maybe there is 
some "leak" when using a codepage and entries get dropped? If no 
codepage is given at all it works.

BTW there is another miserable failure. I have both AT Österreich, and 
AUT Austria in my map. Some addresses are in "Österreich", some are in 
"Austria". When specifying a country via commandline, it should be made 
sure that the country gets associated to any address/city inside the 
map. Maybe if this gets fixed, then the problem with sending to GPS and 
impossible to search for address because being asked for region instead 
of country would be solved too???

Also very problematic are cities that are regions by themselves. Like 
Berlin, or Vienna. Common sense would be to search for a street inside 
Vienna as city, but street can only be found by searching for region 
Vienna and entering for city one of the 23 district names (people give 
the postal code with their address so one could identify the district, 
but that means knowing which postal code any district has). However as 
long as it does more or less not work at all on the GPS, such problems 
can be solved later (if solvable, as addresses are a mess inside OSM).
