[mkgmap-dev] address search in Canada

Hi all, 

due to bad CanVec imports many (> 10000) streetnames in addr:street tags 
have duplicated spaces, so that the name is not exactly like that
of the matching road.
Example:
"Rue  Principale" instead of 
"Rue Principale" appears 8470 times.
"Rue  Notre-Dame  Est" instead of 
"Rue Notre-Dame Est" appears 614 times.

I am not sure why there is no bot to fix this, but I think it would be okay 
to remove any duplicated blank from road names while processing them 
with mkgmap?

Gerd
