A user of my map of France reported that he could not find any address in Paris in his nuvi. Tracking it down I found that we use the following lines in the address file: mkgmap:country=FRA & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level9=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level9}' } mkgmap:country=FRA & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' } but according with OSM wiki [1], admin_level=9 is used in France only for some "Arrondissement" in Paris, Lyon and Marseille. I have extracted admin_level=9 ways and relations in France and those "Arrondissement" are named "1re, 2e, 3e,... arrondissement", which I don't know if is really used/useful when looking for an address in these cities or if different arrondissements can have streets with the same name. Looking at the admin_level=9 data in France, there are 93 (for a total of 156) relations tagged as type=boundary, boundary=religious_administration, admin_level=9 which have nothing to do with admin boundaries, but are caught by the fist rule above, avoiding the use of the admin_level=8 information for those areas. So, the question is, do you think we must keep the admin_level9 line in the address file or remove it? I vote for the second, but would like to know the opinion of someone who knows better the administrative organization of France. [1]http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:admin_level#admin_level
