You need the –tdbfile option as well if you are using mapsource – this creates the essential mdx and mdr files. If the mdr file is missing the Find Place will be greyed out. more on www.pinns.co.uk/osm/address.html From: Frank Stinner [via GIS] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2012 8:12 AM To: n Willink Subject: Option --index but no "Find Place" in Mapsource I use mkgmap 2373 with the default-style. My Optionfile is: family-name=TEST series-name=TEST description=TEST bounds=\Gps\Data\bounds_20121019.zip country-name=Deutschland country-abbr=DEU region-name=Deutschland region-abbr=DEU name-tag-list=name:de,int_name,name:en,name index route net nsis area-name=Germany road-name-pois=0x2f15 draw-priority=20 reduce-point-density=2.6 reduce-point-density-polygon=1.2 merge-lines remove-short-arcs latin1 levels=0:24,1:23,2:22,3:21,4:20,5:19,6:17 max-jobs The Commandline is: java -Xmx1500M -jar p:\gps\bin\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar -c mkgmap.opt -c input-files OSM-Data are a little part from the germany_20121118.osm.pbf (splitted in 63240001.img ... 63240008.img) All is fine but i expected, that in Mapsource the Menu "Find place" (in german "Orte suchen") is usable. But this is greyed out. I don't find my mistake. Have you everywhere a simple example for that or is that an error in mkgmap?
