Hi Felix,
Is there currently a possibility with mkgmap to display highway symbols without adding them to the name?
The following format: highway=motorway {name '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox} ${name}' }
causes problems with searching streets, if you know the streetname but not the ref and want to search for an adress. Trying to get the reference out of the name while still displaying the highway-symbol boxes I did not find out a way how to do this.
(also changing to the following format is not working properly (but I would prefer to drop it from the name completely): {name '${name} ${ref|highway-symbol:hbox}' }
As it works now, I don't think you can achieve what you want. IMHO, it's fundamentally broken in that the name/ref/highway shield info is all munged together far too early. It needs rewriting to keep them separate as long as possible. Cheers, Mark
