How is a "region" defined? I was able to generate a pretty big map in the States and it tranferred fine to the GPS (took more than one hour thru MapSource). How can I know how many "regions" I have in there?
Region in the Garmin format terms is the part of the address between the city and the country. What it should actually be differs from country to country. For the States I would think it should be the state.
For mkgmap though, as this information is typically not present in OSM, there are various options and guesses that are made which I hope someone who is more familiar with it will explain...
You can tell what has ended up as region if you search for a city then you may see something like:
emeryville, emeryville, CA, USA
(The city is repeated for unknown reasons)
This is what I've found in some limited test. I have a map with the following nodes: <node> is_in:A Coruna,Galicia,Spain name:Cerdido place:town </node> <node> is_in:Naron,A Coruna,Galicia,Spain name:Pedroso place:village </node> <node> is_in:A Coruna,Galicia,Spain name:San Sadurniño place:vilage </node> Searching in the Cities tab, if I introduce any of the three names above in the City field and leave blank the others fields, search result is one entry in the form name, name, A CORUNA, ESP. If I also introduce "A Coruna" in the State/Province field, I get six entries for Cerdido (Cerdido, Cerdido, A CORUNA, ESP), two for Pedroso and one for San Sadurniño. Finally, if I leave blank City field and introduce "A Coruna" as State/Province, I get 6 Cerdido+2 Pedroso+1 San Sadurniño
Forgot to say those 6 and 2 entries are repeated and correspond to single nodes in the map.
Map is built with --location-autofill=1 I hope this information is of some usefulness.
In this case CA would be the region. If mkgmap cannot determine a region then you will just see city, city, country.
More directly if you apply the attached patch, then the list of regions for each map processed will be printed.
Sad to say that most of the names listed in my maps have nothing to do with actual regions. I'm afraid a lot of work on osm data is required. Regards, Carlos
