[mkgmap-dev] addr:street and street name matching for house number searchs

Thu Aug 13 07:10:18 BST 2015

Hi Carlos,

not sure what to do here. See first this discussion:
http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/address-search-and-case-significance-of-street-name-tp5840995.html

My problem reg. suppression of certain messages is that current code in mkgmap
is not able to find a nearly matching road name, so it has no way to say
"differs only in capitalization" or maybe "differs only slightly",
it just doesn't find a road.
