[mkgmap-dev] [locator] Europe boundary data for download

Mon May 2 23:27:34 BST 2011

 Hi WanMil

 you did a very, very fine job on the locator and especially with this 
 version 1935. In my opinion it's only a short time now before the 
 locator branch is to be integrated into the core. Cities ánd streets 
 which I couldn't find using version 1930 can now be found in the Garmin 
 index.

 One finetuning question: is it possible to differ the style settings 
 per country for multicountry maps (e.g. for the Netherlands admin_level 
 10 needs to be first in line, in Belgium and Luxembourg admin_level 8 
 needs to be first in line in order to prevent areas of a town to appear 
 as the complete city)

 Cheers, Johan

 By the way, i'm using..

 mkgmap:country!=* & mkgmap:admin_level2=* { set 
 mkgmap:country='${mkgmap:admin_level2}' }

 mkgmap:region!=* & mkgmap:admin_level3=* { set 
 mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level3}' }
 mkgmap:region!=* & mkgmap:admin_level4=* { set 
 mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level4}' }
 mkgmap:region!=* & mkgmap:admin_level5=* { set 
 mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level5}' }
 mkgmap:region!=* & mkgmap:admin_level6=* { set 
 mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level6}' }

 mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level10=* { set 
 mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level10}' }
 mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set 
 mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' }

 mkgmap:postal_code!=* & addr:postcode=* { set 
 mkgmap:postal_code='${addr:postcode}' }
 mkgmap:postal_code!=* & openGeoDB:postal_codes=* { set 
 mkgmap:postal_code='${openGeoDB:postal_codes}' }
 mkgmap:postal_code!=* & mkgmap:postcode=* { set 
 mkgmap:postal_code='${mkgmap:postalcode}' }

 ..as my preferred settings now, because it produces the -in my opinion- 
 best index for multicountry maps
