Hi Valentijn,
A bit of a strange thing: my Garmin mkgmap maps ask the "provincie" (Province? State? County? Whatever you guys call it over there ;) when I want to route to an address.
I normally build my map with country="Netherlands" and country-abbr=NL, I also tried no country and abbrev, but it keeps asking for a "Provincie". Whatever I enter, Garmin can't find it and this makes routing to an address pretty much infeasible. On the regular map, it just asks me if I'm in the Netherlands and then I can enter street and city names.
java -enableassertions -Xmx1800m -jar ~/garmintest/mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --country-name="" --country-abbr="" --family-name="Openstreetmap Netherlands `date -I`" --latin1 --remove-short-arcs --lower-case --preserve-element-order --location-autofill=1 --gmapsupp --route --net --tdbfile -c template.args
What am I doing wrong? I guess this is just a wrong option somewhere?
You're not doing anything wrong. It's a known problem with the address finding. Basically, it's only semi-functional. Searching for addresses or highway exits will probably never work well until the global index stuff is implemented. Cheers, Mark
