[mkgmap-dev] poi-address via style

Hi Steve,

I am looking for the field that is used as address field by mkgmap.
With the option poi-address the POI looks like this on my Oregon.

NAME

Street Number
Town

This looks very nice because the name is only the name
and the address is a separate field
and a LF places the town in the next line.

Now I want to customize it.

With the option no-poi-address and the style command
set name='${name} ${addr:street} ${addr:housenumber} ${addr:city}'
the POI looks like this:

NAME Street Number Town

This does not look so nice any more, because the address
is now part of the name.

I am looking for a style command like this.

set name='${name}'
set name2='${addr:street} ${addr:housenumber} <LF> ${addr:city}'

mkgmap is able to place the address in a separate field.
But this feature seems to be only used by the poi-address code.

The address information is stored as a record of separate fields for
house number, street, phone etc. The way it is displayed by the device
is entirely up to it and we have no control over that (as always, as far
as I know). The style controls what goes into the individual fields
and so you have control over that.
