[mkgmap-dev] multi-word street search

Mon Feb 25 14:28:26 GMT 2013

Hello!

I've a problem regarding street search. In Poland (and I suppose few more
countries also may have this issue) person-named streets can have two forms
- long one:

Miroslawa Dudka

or short one:

Dudka

there is no standard for tagging such names in OSM.

Problem is that Garmin/Mapsource search function is matching names from the
beginning of the string, so if I enter "Dudka" it will find all streets
named "Dudka" but not "Miroslawa Dutka".

Do you have any idea how can I deal with such issue?

best regards

Michal Rogala
