The following suggestions are tested and are working fine: 1. (Thorsten) mkgmap:country=DEU & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8~'Gemeinde.*' { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8|subst:Gemeinde }' } mkgmap:country=DEU & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8~'Stadt.*' { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8|subst:Stadt }' } mkgmap:country=DEU & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8|subst:Gemeinde }' } 2. (Steve) ${mkgmap:admin_level8|subst:Gemeinde |subst:Stadt } Thanks to Thorsten and Steve - I intend to use the last. Klaus @WanMil: I haven't tested your solution - but thanks for providing it. -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/exclude-words-from-city-state-tp6383160p7078...
