Hi Ben, your approach is correct. But I don't know which field are used by the builtin map. So maybe it is not possible to have the same functionality with mkgmap generated maps. Can you please what information/address is displayed if you select a POI on your mkgmap generated map. Is the province name displayed? If not then you should check the log file if mkgmap really finds your bounds directory. WanMil
Hi,
I'm generating a map of Canada with this command:
java -jar mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --latin1 --gmapsupp --min-size-polygon \ --series-name="OSM Canada" --family-name="OpenStreetMap Canada 08 May 2012" \ --index --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --bounds=bounds --add-pois-to-areas \ --pois-to-areas-placement="entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance" \ --check-roundabout-flares --route --remove-short-arcs --drive-on-right --check-roundabouts \ --family-id=34244 --product-id=1 --road-name-pois \ --generate-sea="extend-sea-sectors,multipolygon,floodblocker" --make-all-cycleways \ -c template.args --description="OSM Canada"
I'd like to know if it's possible to get the address search to be aware of the provinces. For example, on the built-in map of my Nuvi 255w, the GPS "knows" that I'm in Ontario and gives me the option to change the 'state/country'. Here's a screenshot that shows this behaviour:

With the mkgmap generated maps, the GPS only "knows" that I'm in Canada. Here's a screenshot showing this behaviour:

I've added these lines to the points, lines and polygons style files to setup the Canadian boundaries:
# Canada = CAN mkgmap:country=CAN& mkgmap:region!=*& mkgmap:admin_level4=* { set mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:admin_level4}' } mkgmap:country=CAN& mkgmap:city!=*& mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' }
Side note: I can make a patch to the default style with these lines if people are interested in having this included with mkgmap.
Does anybody know how I can get the GPS to be aware of the province with my mkgmap generated map?
