Re: [mkgmap-dev] Possible problem with global search index since r3875

Hi

The rule that produces the label "13/14 Hauptstrasse" (start is highway shield code) is this: highway=primary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:box} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:box}' | '${name}'; addlabel '${name} (${ref})' }

This may be unpopular but we should stop doing this. This was needed before we could have multiple labels, but that was a long time ago. The Garmin way to do this is that the name is the first label, then any refs or alternate names. So this case would ideally be represented as: Label 1: Hauptstrasse Label 2: 13 Label 3: 14 ..Steve
