[mkgmap-dev] Searching for postal_code & pbf-support

Thu Jun 16 19:13:24 BST 2011

>> From the Nuvi (commercial map) of my Girlfriend I know, that when you search for streets, it also shows the postal-code. In Mapsource you can search for postal-codes, it also suggest postal-codes, but it couldn't find any streets.

Postal codes are not shown when you search for streets but as far as I 
know it is possible to search for them. Maybe the index format must be 
changed slightly so that the postal codes are also displayed.

Yes. It is included since the first days of the locator branch. I have 
tested it today and it's working fine.

Please check carefully that the latest osmpbf.jar and protobuf.jar are 
in the classpath.
