Hi For English, I don't think there should be any prefixes, so can't comment on this aspect. I've been using a map built with --road-name-config with a long list of suffixes for a few days and: 1/ The GMAPSUPP.IMG is slightly bigger (0.083%) 2/ Find>Address isn't as natural to use. The Streets in the list don't have the suffix and only when you select one, do you see, in the list of matching addresses, all the variants (Road, Avenue, etc) 3/ On the map, at medium resolution, my device picks out some streets names and shows them without the suffix. These have a similar appearance to area features and are just plain confusing because it isn't obvious when the name is there, whereas, when it had the full road name it was. I'm swapping back to --no-road-name-config Regards Ticker On Thu, 2017-07-27 at 06:25 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote:
Hi all,
I am not sure what to think about the suggestions. My understanding of the feature is that it can help to ease address search, but this only works when the user is able to guess the list of prefix1 words, correct? So, when you create the map for your own, use whatever you like, else I would try to keep the list short so that it only contains the most obvious prefixes. In Germany we also have prefixes like An, Auf, Beim, Zum etc. but they are not used that often, so I did not add them to the sample.
Reg. suffixes I am not so sure, they are probably less harmfull.
Comments? Gerd

Hi,
I propose to add for France "Cours" and "Impasse". You can find sometime "Cour" in a street name but I think this is a spelling mistake.

Attached is version 3 of roadNameConfig patch. I tried to add all suggestions received. Only things omitted are "de las", "de los", "la" and "el" suffixes for portuguese (can be added to local files by anyone who want to use them) and removal of English prefixes, which may need some more discussion. Please check if I missed something and comment improvements.

Hi all
For United Kingdom I suggest:
suffix:en = " Avenue", " Close", " Court", " Crescent", " Drive", " Gate", " Grove", " Lane", " Mews", " Parade", " Place", " Road", " Square", " Street", " Terrace", " View", " Way"
Having:
prefix1:en = "North ", "East ", "South ", "West "
is not a good idea here for two reasons: 1/ It is very rare for there to be a "way" where an initial compass point is not a significant part of its name. 2/ "ways" like "North Street", "West Way", "East View", "South Parade" etc are very common.
Generally, the suffix should be removed first and, if removing the prefix gives an empty result, the prefix should be restored.
