I have committed a change to the locator branch (r1994) affects some location specific mkgmap options in the branch. 1. boundsdirectory has been renamed to bounds 2. location-autofill now contains a list of parameters location-autofill=[option1,[option2]] Controls how country, region, city and zip info is gathered for cities, streets and pois. Default: bounds bounds The preprocessed boundaries are used. The assignment of boundary type => country, region etc. is configured in the style file is_in The is_in tag is analyzed for country and region information if these information is not already set nearest If all methods before failed the city/hamlet points that are closest to the element are used to assign the missing information. The old location-autofill values (0 to 3) are autoconverted to the new options although some buggy and bad coded functionality has been removed from the Locator and has to be reimplemented (e.g. fuzzy search - need to be reimplemented by a good soundslike algorithm). So now anybody can control with the mkgmap options if the time costly usage of the preprocessed boundaries should happen or not. WanMil
