Quoting Felix Hartmann <extremecarver@googlemail.com>:
Just to add to my previous "bug" report, ref should be clipped to have only ONE letter preceding the number, otherwise it is dropped for highway:symbol boxes. (at least neither displayed in Mapsource nor on my Vista HCx). Also letters following numbers have to be kept to one letter only. Good: L999A Good: L999 Good: 999A Good: 99 Good:0
(actually it would be great if there were a possibility to drop "ref=0" - never seen it in reality, but often placed in map data for streets without reference at all) Incorrect: EV6 --> should be clipped to E6 (better than not displaying it at all I think) Incorrect: 6EV --> should be clipped to 6E Incorrect:EV6EV --> should be clipped to E6E
(this ads to the bug that the ref must be put before the name of the street, which is really lousy for the address search).
Good Night, Felix
France has a lot of roads named (for example) D32E5, or D13E7. How are these being treated at the moment?
I don't know. You could try it out... I just noticed that :box and :hbox are strict about the content. The above "incorrect" examples DO work however for :oval. So now I have to rethink how to structure it as long as we have no clipping.
