Felix,
Ups, sorry I was not clear. I meant that we should include into the
global address index also streets without "osm addresses". So that any
street present in the map, can be searched for by the "address search"
and not only proper addresses with housenumbers (because we don't have
many of them yet). This would have the added advantage of being able to
search for hiking ways of which you know the name (but which certainly
have no houses, so no address).
OK, understood. Sure, you want the road name without the city name
suffixed as you get with the RNPs.
So I would like to have the functionality of "road-name-pois" inside the
address search (with housenumber=0, because the Vista HCx will only let
you enter a streetname in the search, after having typed in a
housenumber; I do believe that other GPS are similar in that regard).
Don't know how adding housenumber=0 to a road address will change
things. Surely, the hcx will still be asking for a number? As you
probably know, you don't even have to enter a number, just OK.
Ups, yeah I forgot about that. Though we would have to check whether
addresses consisting of street only, without housenumber (be it because
there is no housenumber for that address, exists sometimes on the
countryside, or be it because of the above RNP replacement)
