Well, we can get snow here way past Easter but not quite in the same league.
The spring is extraordinarily late this year. A couple decades ago, we used to have some snow even in May, but the last three winters were very short, less than a month of permanent snow cover. I still firmly believe in global and local warming: also this winter, the permanent snow fell one or two months later than normal, in January.
I admit that I know nothing about how the intersection stuff works. The code we have been trying out simply outputs a data structure that lists the roads in alphabetic order.
By including that data in the map, the gps now shows the find by address and find intersection options. It's the gps that's finding the intersections, not mkgmap.
Sure. Without using a debugger, it's like shooting in the dark. Does MapSource or some other software (not firmware) support these find options? I only run GNU/Linux, so I don't know what MapSource does or what debuggers can do on Windows. I tried bicycle routing on my Edge 705 tonight, and it worked. (With the usual shortcomings: it didn't recalculate the route until I was very much off the route.) For all intents and purposes, your patch works. Please commit it. The current shortcomings can be documented on the wiki. I'd like to release my next Garmin map of Finland with the street name data, and I prefer to document the exact revisions of the tools used. Uncommitted patches would complicate that. Best regards, Marko
