Hi Carlos,
Thanks for implementing find by name feature. I've been trying to test it in a nuvi 300, but I didn't succeed. I used r856 to generate a map typing: /java -enableassertions -jar mkgmap.jar --route --latin1 --gmapsupp --country-name=Espa\361a ../osm2mp/viajes.mp/
That looks OK - I haven't tried using --route recently but I can't think why that would make a difference to the find stuff.
If I try to search in the resulting map by address, no State/Province is found in the database. Also if I try to spell a city, no one appears. What I'm I doing wrong? Could you explain how to get this new feature functioning? Best in wiki [1] to be useful for more people.
I have only tested this on a eTrex Vista.
I am only finding cities by name, not general POIs.
On the etrex, I use the icons to go to Find and then City. At that point, it will list the names of cities nearby and you can then either pick one of the listed names or use the menu to select the "find by name" function. It then lets me enter the name using the joystick and does the incremental search.
I see the find function interface is different in eTrex and Nuvi. In nuvi, you have several ways to find a place: -Address: when you select this one, you are prompted about a State/Province and you have to spell it. If your spelling doesn't match a name in the device database you can't continue with the next step, City/Postal code. Currently no State name appears in my mkgmap generated maps, despite the use of --country-name option. -Find by name: you can spell name of any POI. As cities are treated as poi's (if I understood right), they should be in the database, but they aren't.
Just a thought, try setting a country abbreviation as well as the name. On the etrex, the city names all have the abbreviation as a suffix.
I did, but nothing changed.
Cheers,
Mark
