I agree, a good workaround in the past, but should replaced eventually.
Well road-name-pois should be removed from mkgmap alltogether IMHO. It overloads the POI search, and causes crashes on most gps - even when the map that has been built with road-name-pois is deactivated....
And no, only old generation Garmin GPS work with the address search right now (and to search in other tiles than the active, workarounds are
Hope we can get this into mkgmap soon. :)
needed). In the end as cpreview that generates a fully working address search for cgpsmapper produced maps is open source now, it should be possible to get mkgmap write correct address search too. I have not succeeded in using cpreview to write working mdr for mkgmap created maps though.
In trying to understand Garmin's search function, am I right to assume that search works on different features of the map? My observation is that garmin has 3 separate search index (POIs, address/street, and City). POI search is OK but I have observed problems with city search.
