[mkgmap-dev] Index and equally named cities

Fri Jun 3 10:37:56 BST 2011

Okay,

I've made a new map of Germany on a Windows-machine. On Mapsource I can find a few more streets, which I couldn't found before. But, on my Garmin, I still couldn't find the streets like Schafblumenhalde in Horb. If I leave out the City, I can find the street, but when I click on it, the Garmin says, that it couldn't found this street.
When I make just the tile containing the Schafblumenhalde, I can find it on Mapsource, my Garmin but not in Basecamp (used Gmapi-Builder and the Garmin Map Converter).

Strange things...
