I tried r2662 but... no luck. Index search is worse: using "Via Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart" as example, actually if I type "Via W" and tap done nothing is found, same for "Via Wo", then if I type "Via Wol" magically (without tapping on done) two entries appears (indeed just the two entries in the city starting with "Via Wol"). If I try to search by "Mozart" or "Wolfgang" or whatever and tap on done nothing is found. So just the "autosearch" seems to work and on the street full name only :( I've a Nuvi510. Not sure if it helps, but the final mkgmap output was: === FIRST t1=0, t2=139294 first av 197031/20, last 0/10 ALLEE : 15180 VIALE : 27286 CHEMIN : 68618 PIAZZA : 22592 ROUTE : 39198 RUE : 98746 STRADA : 57822 AVENUE : 26016 VICOLO : 12536 VIA : 720774 IMPASSE : 19896 BOULEVARD : 8114 === LAST STRASSE : 15568 ULICA : 7700 Here the file size, the r2662 is 60MB bigger (as expected) -rw-r--r-- 1 enrico enrico 1069744128 Jul 14 16:01 gmapsupp.img r2656 -rw-r--r-- 1 enrico enrico 1126793216 Aug 5 22:33 gmapsupp.img r2662 and I got some errors related to SeaGenerator that did not appear with r2656: SEVERE (SeaGenerator): ./data/63240001.osm.pbf: Disable precompiled sea due to missing index.txt file in precompiled sea directory sea_20130701.zip but the file index.txt is there (in .gz format) in WanMil's zipped sea_20130701.zip Any clue?

Steve you are the man! I'm rebuilding my map now. By the way, I believe that indexing just the last word make more sense to avoid a lot of useless entries, since words in the middle are usually first names or prepositions. I'll have a try and let you know. Thanks!

Hi
Folks, as you know – this comes up time to time – address search is unpractical in most Latin countries where the street/square name usually starts with the type (Via, Viale,Corso, Piazza etc [IT]; Avenida, Calle, Plaza etc [ES]; Avenue, Boulevard, Rue, Place etc [FR] etc.) followed by the full name of - usually - the person naming the street. Nevertheless the street names sometime appears abbreviated (V.le, Av.da, Bld. etc), sometime the Middle name is skipped, sometime the work “of” is used (Avenue de Bobigny, Corso del Popolo etc)
The Garmin index format has a way of dealing with this problem and earlier this year I made a branch that creates an index with the extra information to show where the interesting part of the name starts.
The latest version indexes every word in the name separately so you could find 'corso del popolo' by typing 'corso' , 'del' or 'popolo'.
So this will always work for any language, but at the cost of a much larger index.
It would be great if someone could try it out as it is, then if useful, its more likely that someone would improve it. By devising a suitable way to cut down the useless entries.
Download it as mkgmap-mixed-index-r2662.jar at the bottom of the download page.
So what is a simple Mozartstrasse in Austria would look like “Via Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart” in Italy or “Rue Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart” in France but possibly also “Av.da de Mozart” etc.
Now, everyone knows the street/square by its last name and it would be much more practical to search by it: I’d like to have a style that just pick the last full word of the street/square name and put it as a suffix followed by a comma and the original name.
This would really boost address search for Latin countries – so it might be a default style to add to IT, FR, ES, BR, MX… etc).
Could you help me on making that regular expression for the style?
“str1 str2… strN” -> “strN, str1 str2… strN”
Thanks!
Enrico
