So after some digging (and testing is still ongoing) I *think* I may have figured out what is going on. My use of the --country-abbr='CA' instead of --country-abbr='CAN' may have been marking the addresses as not Canadian and thus they weren't showing. I've tried removing the option completely hoping mkgmap would pick it up from the metadata, but I don't think that worked. I'm going to need to start doing a better test plan. Right now I'm kind of spinning my wheels and I'm on like build 15. Also there (at least in my opinion) is a bug in the firmware where if a map is disabled it shouldn't use that map file for address information, but it does. I'll update as soon as I get some results. Unfortunately this process is slow (around 40 minutes each try) and I get distracted with other things... Thank you for the suggestion on the -c template.args and geonames-file options. I'll give that a try on my next run. On 07/20/20 06:35, Ticker Berkin wrote:
Hi Andrew
When you say you can't find cities, do you get a good list of nearby cities from the Find>Cities menu entry, and if you change this to search-by-name, can you find all that you'd expect (ie non-basemap ones).
When using Find>Address, do you get a sensible Country or Region list in the initial selection field, and have selected something, do you get a list of Cities in the City selection field, similarly for Street. On my device I need to clear the house number field to get from this point to the list of addresses that I can then select (because most of my addresses don't have housenumbers)
I see references to postal_code in your bounds processing. I don't think you are going to get anything sensible to happen by default relating to Canadian postcodes; I think Garmin ZipCode handling only deals with numerics.
Unrelated suggestions are:
Get the splitter to generate useful tile names with the --geonames-file=... option.
Use these by having -c template.args rather than *.osm.pbf
Have the global --description at the end, after the above.
Beware of --split-name-index.
--link-pois-to-ways is a good option.
--code-page=1252 if you need French names with accents.
