[mkgmap-dev] routing issues with multiple lines & address search

Wanmil,

Speaking about the index, do you have an idea why when in Mapsource the address search streets are connected with the right city (map made with the locator jar) on the gps the address search is not as good and many streets are not connected to a place name? 

If I compile the map with the regular mkgmap the gps finds more of those streetnames with connecting placenames but the results are less reliable than maps made with the locator (placenames are not always the correct ones).

Another thing:
If I dont specify country-name: and country-abbr: in the args file (because I have a map with several countries), I get a very ugly "ABC" as substitute for country. Can we get rid of this, better nothing specified than this which makes no sense at all. Same for "fix me" in the address properties. It only fills the map with unneccesary data.
