[mkgmap-dev] Commit: r2654: Improve matching of street names for housenumber assignment

Wed Jul 10 19:47:20 BST 2013

Hi WanMil,
take care, this proposal might be to big ;)

Maybe it would be better first solve the part with name-handling and 
then continue with housenumber-matching.
For example: migrate name and ref handling in style-file and use only 
mkgmap:name and mkgmap:ref for name and ref-fields.

Then there could be another tag, eg. mkgmap:streetname, which contains 
only name for matching with addr:street & co.

I think this would be a quite easy-to-understand way and also very 
flexible in usage. I don't know if it's necessary to have a seperate 
pre-defined style-file names (lines, points, polygons,...) because I hae 
in mind, that some mkgmap-functions are handling name-tags befor style 
is read. But I'm not really sure.

>>> The housenumber handling uses the style sheet generated name of streets and matches that to the addr:street tag of housenumbers. The style sheet name is now stripped by the shield information (usually a ref) and text within brackets (also usually the ref name). This increases the match rate of housenumbers especially for streets with a ref.
