[mkgmap-dev] How to add millions of addresses to your garmin maps of France

Wed Feb 4 09:16:14 GMT 2015

Hi Gerd,

Thank you !
I will make a test later with mkgmap-housenumbers2-r3439.zip.

I noticed that, with map compiled with guyane-latest-with-bano.osm.pbf,
there are two points on the map for «3 Chemin de la Source de Baduel» :
one at the beginning of the street and an other on the street, close to
the correct address.
But only the first is proposed as result after an address search.
