Is anyone interested in adding a section for Thailand?I don't know how to add them to the configuration file <g>.

There are only a few prefixes in use in Thailand, the most common by far is "thanon" (ถนน = road), and a few names begin with "soi" (ซอย = lane). Most often you find the word "soi" at the end of a street name, for example, Thanon Mahidol Soi 5 (Mahidol Road Lane 5).

Having just those two prefixes in play would help a lot.

Cheers,

Dave

In what way do you think it is more efficient? I thought you could be talking about roads including more than one prefix1 in their name, eg. "Avenida de la Calle Mayor", but I tested that name and I can't see any difference in search behavior on MapSource. By the way, I found that when road name includes two words listed in prefix1 you can still search by the original full name:
Road name: Avenida de la Calle Mayor
prefix1:es = "Alameda", "Avenida", "Calle", "Callecita", "Paseo" (or "Alameda", "Calle", "Avenida", "Callecita", "Paseo")
You can search both Avenida de la Calle Mayor and Calle Mayor
Perhaps that can give a clue to include original name in all cases

Hola Carlos,

I see that you are listing the prefixes in alphabetic order.  I believe it would be way more efficient to put the most common prefixes first.

For Portuguese, that would be (as I suggested in a previous message):

-# portugese
-prefix1:pt = "Rua", "Avenida", "Travessa"
-prefix2:pt = "da ", "do ", "de ", "das ", "dos "
+# portuguese
+prefix1:pt = "Rua", "Avenida", "Travessa", "Alameda", "Beco"
+prefix2:pt = "da ", "do ", "das ", "dos ", "de ", "d'"
Saludos,

Version mkgmap-r3971 was committed by gerd on Mon, 12 Jun 2017

- roadNameConfig_v1.patch by Carlos Davida which adds more countries and languages
- Improve comments

Attached is version 2 of roadNameConfig.patch
I'm working in the completion of roadNameConfig file. I think if I could somehow get a file with the list of road names in a map I could advance faster in this task. Is there any tool to get it in the display project?
