Hi Thorsten,
I've observed such a problem once although I cannot fully adapt it to your problem. Anyhow I'll describe what happens in mkgmap so you might have an idea yourself?!
What might have happened in your case is: 1. You have used different name-tag-list values for different tiles (is that possible? I should know but I am unsure...). Anyhow the country abbreviation should be the same because it is always taken from the LocatorConfig.xml.
No, I don't use different name-tag-list values for different tiles. And meanwhile I found out that the country abbreviation is always the one from "--country-abbr=XYZ", independent of which value is specified here. Since the island Ireland consists of two countrys, the value is always wrong for both states. Between, only the country Ireland is wrong, North-Irland is always correct.
I am not sure if I understand you correct: Northern Ireland is always correct (which means abbrevation is GBR) whereas Republic of Ireland is always incorrect (which means abbreveation is the value of --country-abbr). Did you mean that? Anyhow you provided two error messages as examples. Both are located in the country Republic of Ireland. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/46605658 [...,mkgmap:admin_level2=IE,mkgmap:country=IE] http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/106590397 [...,mkgmap:admin_level2=IRL,mkgmap:country=IRL] The first way shows the problem very good. The mkgmap:admin_level2 tag is set to IE, so there must be a precompiled boundary with the tags admin_level=2 and nameXXX=IE where nameXXX is one of the tags set by name-tag-list. I have searched the precompiled bounds of Oct 16th (you are using them?) but I couldn't find such a boundary so far. So at the moment I have no idea about the problem...
2. The precompiled bounds of Ireland might have been incomplete so that the admin_level2 boundary did not cover the full area of Ireland.
The precompiled bounds are yours. Between, the latest world tar.gz archive from November is broken, I always get CRC errors when trying to unpack it.
I have downloaded the world_bounds_20111106.tar.gz. I do not have problems unpacking it. I have used 7-zip to create the tar.gz. Maybe that causes a problem?
If you can reproduce the problem you can send me your splitter settings, your mkgmap parameters including your style files. Then I can have a look on it.
I tared up the whole directory, since it isn't that big:
http://osm.thkukuk.de/ireland.tar.bz2
Change into that directory and call: "mkgmap --style-file=style/ --country-name=ireland --country-abbr=EU --series-name=TK-Ireland-Basemap --family-name=TK-OSM-EU --area-name=EU --overview-mapname=TK-OSM-Ireland-Basemap --tdbfile --latin1 --bounds=bounds --location-autofill=bounds,nearest,is_in --add-pois-to-areas --reduce-point-density-polygon=8 --min-size-polygon=8 --make-opposite-cycleways --remove-short-arcs --adjust-turn-headings --route --net --generate-sea=extend-sea-sectors '--pois-to-areas-placement=entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance;barrier=entrance' --index -c mkgmap.cfg --gmapsupp -c maps.cfg --description=TK-Ireland-Basemap TK_EU.TYP"
You need to adjust the bounds option of course.
Thanks, I will try that. WanMil
