[mkgmap-dev] address search and case significance of street name

Sat Apr 18 14:11:12 BST 2015

Hi,

okay, good points. For those who use mkgmap logs for 
quality improvements I could make sure to report the mismatches.
Sample :
INFO: uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.osmstyle.StyledConverter  e:\osm_out_work\czech\20150223_092244\63240079.o5m: case difference: using Za ovčínem instead of Za Ovčínem for mkgmap:street http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/296650164
INFO: uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.osmstyle.StyledConverter  e:\osm_out_work\czech\20150223_092244\63240079.o5m: case difference: using Za ovčínem instead of Za Ovčínem for mkgmap:street http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/296650164
INFO: uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.osmstyle.StyledConverter  e:\osm_out_work\czech\20150223_092244\63240079.o5m: case difference: using Na Chobotě instead of Na chobotě for mkgmap:street http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/296660550
INFO: uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.osmstyle.StyledConverter  e:\osm_out_work\czech\20150223_092244\63240079.o5m: case difference: using Na Chobotě instead of Na chobotě for mkgmap:street http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/296660550

BUT: 
I have problems to remove the duplicates here, as some tags are evaluated multiplie times,
and I can not show where the original value comes from without blowing up the data structures,
and I see no way to find out which spelling is correct. Of course one could count
occurances and use the one that appears most often, but that would mean
one or more additional loops and still would allow errors when 10 houses give the wrong name
while only one highway element shows the right one.

Aother problem is that other obvious typos are not handled, e.g.
"Ilmer Weg" and "Ilmerweg". Is it "Bahnhofstraße" or "Bahnhofsstraße" ?

So, I'll remove that code again and simply report a name mismatch, no matter what the reason
is :-(

I'll try to put as much information as possible to messages like these

but one has to analyse the element to find out what's wrong (program or OSM data or boundary data, to start with that)
