According to [1] you have to add to following line [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/style_rules
{name '${name} (${ref})' | '${ref}' | '${name}'}
if you want to name a street with 'ref' or 'name' or both.
When you have 3 or more tags which could exist, the rule will be very complicated.
My wish is that i can give a list of tags and mkgmap adds these, if they exist, to the name tag, but don't bother if one or more tags are missing.
How would the tags be delimited then? Have you considered adding |def: to each tag to make them empty when missing, e.g., name '${name|def:},${ref|def:},${operator|def:}'
This is for mapping purposes. I would like to create a mapping layer in which are mostly all information, all tags in the text string of an POI.
The maximum string length can be exceeded quite easily. Recently, I added all routes to my 'routes' style, and ways with multiple '${route} ${network} ${ref}' can grow very long names, e.g., 'bus hsl 731,bus hsl 742,road E 75' etc. instead of '731,742'. It might be better to split the information into several layers (maps), one per ${route} type. But unfortunately mkgmap cannot currently generate several maps in one run. Best regards, Marko
