[mkgmap-dev] space before name

Sun Dec 8 08:49:10 GMT 2019

Hi Nick,

my understanding is that there should be absolutely no difference between 1 or 5 or 32 leading spaces with the unpatched version.
I did not try how leading spaces are treated when doing address search or POI search with names. In my eyes it is a bad idea to add blanks,
I'd prefer to also remove leading and trailing blanks. I just don't know why WanMil removed the corresponding code and I am too lazy to find out ;)

Hi Gerd

I'm sorry ; I  have no idea what the code refers to but does seem a good
idea to have an option where the number of

spaces in front of a label are not halved/reduced.Like Enrico, I've had
to add about 32 spaces before I could notice any difference - this has
been resolved using the mkgmap you prepared for Enrico.
