Hi Thorsten,
Hi,
I was wondering why I couldn't find sometimes addresses even if they where entered correct in OSM. By pure luck I found now the reason, it looks like if a way has the tag "cycleway=opposite", the address information is put on the wrong way.
Look at Sandwall 17 or 19 in Wyk auf Foehr (http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/54.68666/8.56960)
With my own and with the default mkgmap style, you will not find the address with "Sandwall 17", but with "Sandwall (Cycleway) 17".
I think for address search, the "(Cylceway)" streets should be ignored.
it's up to you to ignore the cycleway: matching of nodes/polygons with house numbers are performed by evaluating the mkgmap:street tag of the road. So you can exclude all cycleways by removing or not setting the mkgmap:street tag on them.
Hm, how does this work then? My understanding was, that you take the addr:street tag and compare them with the road name. But "Sandwall (Cycleway)" is for me not identical to "Sandwall" as written in addr:street?
The road name is taken from the tag mkgmap:street in contrary to mkgmap:label:1 used to assign the first displayed label and used for address search.
Else how can I detect, that a way is the original one ("Sandwall") and not the cloned one for the opposite cycleway ("Sandwall (Cycleway)")?
I don't know (would have to look it up in the source code) but I guess it is tagged with highway=cycleway? Maybe someone else can give a quick answer?
Thanks, thorsten
