Hi Walter,
Just one small clarification about the address field.
If I set --poi-address than the address field is filled by mkgmap and I can manipulate the content using the trick with mkgmap:phone.
If I set --no-poi-address than the address field is left blank by mkgmap and I also cannot fill it with any command via the style file.
I hope I understood this correct. yes, just one hint: --poi-address is the default
At last I would like to report one optical issue in --poi-address generation: There is a line break between street and postcode, but no line break between city and phone.
e.g. Street Nr postcode, city+49 123 4567
It would be much nicer, to display the address field with one more line break. Street Nr postcode, city +49 123 4567
If someone is spending the effort in changing this, maybe a small enhancement could also be done.
The formatting is done by the Garmin software, not by mkgmap. It just fills individual fields and we have a few flags for the whole tile to say how to format them. These flags are configured in resources/LocatorConfig.xml , e.g. Island (and Germany) have streetBeforeHousenumber="true" postalcodeBeforeCity="true"
Would it make sense to add unit (maybe even door, if available) to housenumber? addr:housenumber/addr:unit/addr:door
Well, the current code for the --housenumbers option will treat a housenumber like "3/5/3" like "3", so I think you can do that in the style. Gerd
