Hi Steve, you are doing a great job! I tested the latest index branch 1781 with Latin1 & codepage 1252, compiled a map of Soutern Africa in 2 tiles On mapsource I see no difference. Streets are searchable under address search as it was before with index -- that is, as long as you don't fill in the city fields. With the state or country fields completed the street are found very well. Observation: the values available in the state field correspond to the region-abbr value passed to MkGMap, and not to the state values in the map data. On my unit (Nuvi200W) the problem remains the same (as reported before by other people): Address search is not available, as the unit requests the state/province i.s.o. country, and refuse any input, or rather does not find any state. As I think your work currently looks at sorting the street names, I don't really expect a change here yet. The state/province obstacle prevents me from testing address search further on the unit. I will keep on testing every new version. The only other difference I've noticed is that I can not find streets in POI search as I switched road-name-pois off to test address search. Please never get rid of this option, until all units have proper address search. It is a life saver -- a map where you cannot find a street is useless.
