[mkgmap-dev] VIllages not findable

Mon Jan 2 19:47:03 GMT 2012

Since some time ago I'd noticed that villages are not findable neither 
on MapSource nor on my devices (nuvi 300 and Legend HCx) whereas they 
could be found before, but did not track it down till now. The change 
was introduced in rev 1987 to get a bigger size of labels for villages 
than for hamlets, which seem reasonable (see thread [1] for more 
information). Could you check if the same negative side effect is 
affecting you? Could we use a different code (searchable) for villages, 
keeping the current label size?
