Hi
Thanks for testing.
It looks like things are pretty good for small and medium sized maps.
Did send to device fail for 1& 2 tiles or did you just not try? I ask because I haven't tried it since the last round of changes, but I know that prior to the last round of changes there was a problem with a small map.
I didn't try before, buy now I did and it works fine.
(1) Only places tagged in the form is_in=province,region,country. Those with complete is_in:province, is_in:region, is_in:country tagging are not found.
I can't find any place where is_in:province or is_in:region is used in mkgmap. So is probably just a case of supporting those tags, and not index related.
Sorry, my fault. I changed is_in:county by is_in:region in my local copy of StyledConverter.java and builtin-tag-list long time ago, that's why they appear in my "trunk" maps.
On the other hand it should be possible to search for a city that does not have a region; it does have to have a region or a country, but there is a default country name ("ABC" if you don't set it in the commands).
(2) Missing all streets beginning by "Calle" before "Calle Real ..."
I suspect (like Johann) that having so many streets beginning with the same letters is confusing. But surely it is confusing to humans too? How are Spanish street directories normally indexed, do you normally ignore the "Calle" and then sort on the rest? Yes. As a difference to English or German, in Spanish the type of way (Calle/Street, Avenida/Avenue, ...) is placed before the name of the way. As most urban ways are Calles, directories usually omit it and for those which are not calles, the type of way is left or placed at the end (Avenida de España / España, Avenida de). It seems like this is possible in the Garmin format, but not something we have done.
With Garmin genuine maps you don't need to type calle, avenida or whatever, just the name of the way, but the type of way is shown in the search results, to help choose the right one. If we could get this behavior it would improve user experience greatly, as having to type calle/avenida/... for any search using gps keyboard/buttons is quite annoying.
(3) In the search results listed region information is missing.
OK, noted.
It's also due to my is_in:county/region change.
