Hello list,
I tried the indexing stuff for the first time. It does work a little
bit: it will find the location of streets if I select them from the list
of all streets. However, I can't seem to search for streets or cities.
Also, the country of all these is "country" and in the list of cities,
there is an "ABC" behind the names - could that be a hard coded state name?
(I suppose the above is just how it works now and nothing to worry about).
Best regards,
Valentijn

Hi Valentijn,
No, I don't think this is just how it works now.
I get the impression that some people has fully functional address search on their devices? Someone please confirm.
For myself address search is still not available on the device.
I have tried Felix' mtb maps of my area, and the problem remains. So I don't think my compiling methods (options used) is to blame.
Possibilities are:
1) Not all devices can cope with -–index.
I use Nuvi200W, someone had exact same complain using Nuvi250 "Device asks for province/state and can't find any"
Similar in nuvi 300, but only asks for state
Problem is that with the original Garmin map my device ask for country, and then city- never province
2) OSM input data insufficient. Maybe there is no address data in the file and that might be what is required?
I see a lot of "fix my address" labels that I can't find in the OSM data, so might be generated by mkgmap?
Yes, that is added by mkgmap to all POI's lacking address information. It's just a message to the user to complete that information.
