[mkgmap-dev] Address index changes in dev-index branch

well, best copy it in with a different name. Well and I should probably 
generate a new map with Mapsource using different FID, then there will 
be no caching enacted.

Another reason, why the Mapsource generated map maybe didn't work, was 
that you had no GPS reception (yet)???
I noticed that with all mkgmap generated maps (in comparison to Garmin 
CN maps which don't have this problem) without GPS reception, address 
search doesn't work (or I ran into some caching here, but this seemed to 
be consistent).
