Fix working out the name that belongs to a city and also fetch the correct city for POIs that have an associated city.
The city seems to be more or less correct now. The state/county information is still a bit on the weak side but a lot better. Strangely Vorarlberg and Tirol are often replaced with "Hall" which is a city. Maybe if unsure, addresses for several counties could be made up? This way if something is wrongly placed the chance to still find it gets bigger....
OK thanks for testing that. The problem with the cities was just a couple of bugs, but after you wrote your message I've discovered a region related field which is now set correctly and may help with counties.
Also the "country" is sometimes AT and sometimes AUT. I noticed that official garmin maps often have several records for the same country (e.g. Austria AT; Austria AUT; Oesterreich) - maybe it is possible to associate points/adresses with several countries or put up placeholders? I am using the --country-name= option but it seems not to be used for the index.
I don't think it is possible to have POIs in more than one country, it may be possible to have several names/translations for the same country, but either way I don't know how.
However - how are the cities determined? Is this dependant on the POI stylefile? - If so please tell which 0x are used - or put up some documentation in which file in the source this is changeable.
Cities are 0x1 to 0x11 inclusive.
As for compatibility with GPS - I last tested with 1268 on GPS and it worked well - if I only sent one tile. When I sent whole of Austria I had problems finding "streets" far away from current position, while the street was found in Mapsource.
OK thanks for the report, I've not done much on device testing yet, it seemed OK with one tile as you found.
Hope my feedbacks contains something useful.
It certainly does, hopefully regions are now better. Regards, ..Steve
