Subject: [mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v8] - alpha patch to support road find by name
v9 - based on r985. Now tries to reduce (connected) groups of roads with the same name and city to just one entry - please test.
If you find that you are still seeing multiple entries for a road, check the OSM data to see that the road really is sensibly defined, i.e. it's quite possible to have a bunch of connected road segments some of which have the same name and the others having no name - in that case, the road will get listed more than once. Also, dual carriageways will show up as two entries.
Feedback/comments welcome.
I have another one - i wasnt actually shure whats going on but it seems that when using the splitter - converting the osm files individually with mkgmap and later merging them with mkgmap to a gmapsupp the ability to search for streets gets lost - i get a list shown which contains my example street "Alt Hammoor" but when searching by entering characters "AL" the list is empty - Entering "Al" does not work (GPSMap 60Csx) because pressing ok on the lower case "l" does not cause it to be added to the search string. I remember i was able to find "Alt Hammoor" by entering "ALT" ... I'll convert a smaller subset without splitting and merging...
