[mkgmap-dev] Suggestions for roadNameConfig.txt

Sun Dec 15 10:50:51 GMT 2019

Hi Ticker,

reg. your comments in http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2019q1/029506.html:
I think you missed the words "On the PC" in this sentence?
        - On the PC, when zooming out, the name 'Rue de la Concorde' is only
                rendered as 'Concorde'.

I just verified that this still works (with the unpatched config) but the effect is barely visible with english names. In Mapsource the switch happens when zooming out to a map scale of "500m".

I'll try the effects on road search later...

Gerd

Hi

I have suggestions for changes to the English. Patch attached but the
relevant lines are:

# english
# Not good to have prefixes; in UK they are considered as the first
part of the street name.
#prefix1:en = "East ", "North ", "South ", "West "
# Having suffixes makes Find>Address less easy to use on some GPS
devices! See posting 21-Feb-2019:
#  http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2019q1/029506.html
suffix:en = " Arcade", " Avenue", " Circus", " Close", " Court", "
Crescent", " Croft", " Drive", " Field", " Fields", " Gardens", "
Gate", " Grove", " Hill", " Lane", " Mews", " Parade", " Park", "
Passage", " Place", " Rise", " Road", " Square", " Street", " Terrace",
" View", " Villas", " Walk", " Way", " Wood", " Yard"
