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.

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?

With best regards
