[mkgmap-dev] Option --index but no "Find Place" in Mapsource

Fri Nov 23 11:57:54 GMT 2012

You need the –tdbfile option as well if you are using mapsource – this creates the essential mdx and mdr files.
If the mdr file is missing the  Find Place will be greyed out.

I use mkgmap 2373 with the default-style. My Optionfile is: 

family-name=TEST 
series-name=TEST 
description=TEST 
bounds=\Gps\Data\bounds_20121019.zip 
country-name=Deutschland 
country-abbr=DEU 
region-name=Deutschland 
region-abbr=DEU 
name-tag-list=name:de,int_name,name:en,name 
index 
route 
net 
nsis 
area-name=Germany 
road-name-pois=0x2f15 
draw-priority=20 
reduce-point-density=2.6 
reduce-point-density-polygon=1.2 
merge-lines 
remove-short-arcs 
latin1 
levels=0:24,1:23,2:22,3:21,4:20,5:19,6:17 
max-jobs 

The Commandline is: java -Xmx1500M -jar p:\gps\bin\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar -c mkgmap.opt -c input-files 

OSM-Data are a little part from the germany_20121118.osm.pbf (splitted in 63240001.img ... 63240008.img) 

All is fine but i expected, that in Mapsource the Menu "Find place" (in german "Orte suchen") is usable. But this is greyed out. I don't find my mistake. Have you everywhere a simple example for that or is that an error in mkgmap? 

With best regards
