Hi Andrzej, hi Steve,
I don't want to see the ref when I am searching for an address. If possible, I want to see it and be able to search for it when searching for a road.
When creating search index, shield could be separated from street name and both elements added to search index independently.
Current status is this: For routable ways we have a method getName() which returns the value from tag mkgmap:label:1 , see MapRoad. java and MapElement.java. For the --housenumber option we use the value in tag mkgmap:street in preference to that in addr:street, if both are not set, the road is ignored. The default style has this rule in lines: highway=* & name=* { set mkgmap:street='${name}' } to set mkgmap:street to the value of tag name before any of the rules that add highway shields to the name like this one: highway=secondary | highway=tertiary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:oval} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:oval}' | '${name}'; addlabel '${name} (${ref})' } I don't know if we should try to use the mkgmap:street value for the index(es), or if we should try to change the rules so that they set mkgmap:label2 - 4 instead of concatenating the values in mkgmap:label:1 ? I am still busy the housenumber code, so I would be happy to hear that anybody is trying to code a patch for this problem. Gerd
