Brian: Address search in the US map from 2014.10.23 should now works for New York. I've tested it in simulation mode but it would be great if you could test it out to confirm it's working as well. Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Gerd: I've attached a patch that I'm using to fix the New York address search. I've also included a small change in Canada and the US which removes the 'City of' in front of city names when it's there. Nobody uses the official 'City of' form of city names so it doesn't make sense to have it in the default style. Let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks, Ben

Hi Greg,

I thought about this. The precompiled bounds contain the needed info,
it is the LocationHook that fills the tags like mkgmap:admin_level6.
The LocationHook uses the --name-tag-list option to decide which
value is used.
It would be possible to fill an additional set of tags like
mkgmap:admin_level-alt-2 .. mkgmap:admin_level-alt-11,
but I don't see much use in this.
If I got it right, all we need for New York are a five rules like this:
mkgmap:country=USA & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level5=New York City &
mkgmap:admin_level6=New York County { set mkgmap:city=Manhattan }
mkgmap:country=USA & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level5=New York City &
mkgmap:admin_level6=Kings County { set mkgmap:city=Brooklyn }
...

With the additional alt_name values it would be one rule like this:
mkgmap:country=USA & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level5=New York City {set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level-alt-6}' }
(note that the rule doesn't check if the alt-name is filled)

Are there more places where this could be used?
