Hi all, attached is v1 of the patch for the issue discussed here: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/obsolete-spaces-in-tags-tt5856850.html It implements option a) : Remove spaces before style processing. If I here no complains I'll commit this next Monday. Remarks: 1) Unfortunately it doesn't really improve address search in Canada. In my test case some more addresses are found, but a lot of "found no plausible road " messages remained. Reasons: 1) Abbreviations used in names, e.g. "Av Jackson" vs "Avenue Jackson", "Pl Gabriel" vs "Place Gabriel", etc. Some of them might be fixed using appropriate style rules, see attached patch canada_addr_v1.patch 2) Other spelling differences, e.g. "Rue Mozart" vs "Rue de Mozart" "Boulevard Saint-Laurent" vs "Rue Saint-Laurent" 2) Since r2906 obsolete spaces in the values of tags mkgmap:label:1..4 are removed (after style processing). This was added with the mergeroads code. @WanMil: Maybe this code in StyledConverter.elementSetup() is obsolete with the new patch? For those that like to test it: see http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/284/mkgmap.jar and my test case: http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/283/double_spaces.osm Ciao, Gerd
