Hi Andrzej, I came more or less to the same conclusion. I think I also have a new and better idea regarding the data structures and - flow for the housenumber code. and the brute search algo suggested yesterday seems to be too slow. The current code suffers from rounding errors which happen because the position of an address is stored as a double which depends on the length of the way segment and the position of the nodes. A new node means a lot of recalculations and it is very complicated to compare the positions of addresses which are assigned to different intervals. My new idea whould store the position as an int which gives the metres from the start of the (original) road. I am not sure if that causes problems with houses which are before the start or after the end, but I think I should ease many calculations. 2nd idea: Instead of calculating a good split point and searching for a real Garmin point close to it which causes small or zero line distortion the algo could start calculating all those points Garmin points which are very close or on the way and check if they can be used to improve address search. If there are to few good points to split the algo can still combine some addresses at existing nodes to improve the result. I have to find out how this will work with the random case.

For example address placing precision could be in range 20-50m. If there is a node in this range, I would try use it for multiple addresses. I'm afraid that inserting a new node within distance 20m from existing node could distort lines on 24-bit layer and should be avoided. -- Best regards, Andrzej _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
