[mkgmap-dev] change inc/address to be a standalone ?

Thu Apr 16 08:48:25 BST 2015

Hi Thorsten,

okay, got it. Did not think about mkgmap:street
and even the default style has to use this trick.

Sorry for the noise.

I think what I was looking for is a set of rules
which depend only on the tags created by the LocationHook.

After the latest news regarding the img format 
I try to change the --housenumber code to group
roads and houses by city/region/country (and maybe also
zip code), so I was looking for an efficient way to 
calculate these values based on the coords of a road point,
but probably the only relavant data is in the houses near 
the road, so we just have to make sure that each element
with addr:housenumber has the relavent tags.
