On a certain GPS model, empty city names caused a problem. So its not that it never works, but may cause problems in some situations.
I also have a vague memory of another problem with blank names for POIs (that may have been limited to place names) but I wasn't able to find it.
Hi, Yes, it was me who reported such issue with an Edge 705: empty places makes it freeze for 30 seconds at each click you scroll in a place/nearest city list. The thread starts there: http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2012q1/013897.html This was solved using 1) “--bounds=bounds --index --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --add-pois-to-areas --name-tag-list=name,place_name” (this will fill the blanks but you’ll get place duplicates) or better: 2) Use "--bounds=bounds --index --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --add-pois-to-areas" and in the style file, change the points file by adding “ & name=*” to each “place=XXX” entry I am now trying the new mkgmap-r2336 to see if the problem will reoccur with the new autofill code. I now use "--location-autofill=is_in,nearest". However, I cannot create the bounds files anymore. I was using: java -jar mkgmap-r2336/mkgmap.jar --createboundsfile=great_britain-boundaries.osm.pbf This does not generate the bounds anymore. Am I missing something? Thanks, Eric I am trying the latest mkgmap to see if the problem reoccurs.
