Hi Carlos,
first of all thanks for testing. Sorry I didn't found time to answer your questions earlier.
*First I've noticed is that pois having is_in:region tag don't show region in nuvi. If region is taken from is_in rather that is_in:region it's a problem for countries like Spain, where information in this tag is completely erratic, i.e. you can find city, region, country, continent values in any order, some of them missing, separated by , or by ; etc. This way I can't find a way to set the region with regionOffset parameter in LocatorConfig.xml
You are right that the is_in tagging is not very reliable in most countries. I did the best to get reasonable results but on the long term the only solution is to fix the tags.
I was under the impression that the "is_in" tag was only needed if the way (or POI) was outside any bounding-polygon marked with "place=vlllage(*), place_name=Beercan on Sea(**)". Is this system still in use? I've been marking up my area (Swansea, South Wales) with such polygons, also giving them tags like "landuse=residential" so as to have the rendered map show the limits of the urban areas.
Though it's not trivial to discover which polygons contain a given point, it's bound to be easier for sureyors to maintain and less error-prone than having to mark every individual POI or way with "is_in" tags. Steve
