Hi, (posting this discussion to the list, hoping others have an idea on this topic) --- addr:street & addr:city seems to work well with mkgmap & garmin mapsource at the moment, all others tags doesnt matter, like addr:state, addr:village, addr:country (they don't seem to affect mapsource's find function), but one thing I think is important (which is currently missing in osmph): there is a "state/province" dropdown menu i discovered in mapsource, that mkgmap can supply using osm data, if said POI has tag: is_in='(province),(leaveblank),Philippines' eg. is_in=Rizal,,Philippines <---- the particular POI will be searchable under (State/Province dropdown)=Rizal, but will be shown as "capitalized" RIZAL, followed by PH or PHI (wherein Philippines is automatically replaced by the country code defined in mkgmap. Definitely, this is intended for U.S. maps where the 2-letter codes of States are always capitalized. But since the search-function is already there, it's possible for garmin to narrow down the search of cities & town in OSMPH if any distinctive province-tag is available, which will make us garmin user very happy :-) Advantage: while addr:state doesn't seem to work with mkgmap (at the moment when I tried it), i think we should still push for it on osm (considering there are lots of towns & cities in the philippines with similar name (isabela, rizal, taytay...), and it's a bit tricky when filtering them out. addr:state or addr:province can easily be converted to is_in='(province),(blank),Philippines' fprmat (for the mean time that it is not supported by mkgmap just yet) -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------
