So the address is the only problem? Update: I was able to read an MDR file in emacs. Now how to understand is the next challenge :) On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 6:07 PM, <charlie@cferrero.net> wrote:

Is it possible to implement global indexing incrementally? Looking at my mapsource, the "Find Places" has 4 tabs (city, feature, address, intersection). This is disabled when I am using mkgmap generated maps.

FYI, my GPSMap76CSx usually shows City, Waypoint and Intersection search options for mkgmap-generated maps. Sometimes it shows other search options (e.g. Transport, Shopping) too. The precise set of options depends on the style-file I use (i.e. which types of feature make it through from OSM conversion to IMG file.
The City search (which I use most often) works fine, if a little slowly. The one difficulty I have had is that if you search for a place with an accent (e.g. Pézenas) you have to stipulate the accent when you search. This is a bit fiddly on my GPSr, but doable once you know that you should do it.
