Address search icon behavior varies in some gps units
Hi, Just an FYI to the great mkgmap devs. :) This feedback came from someone using my OSM-PH garmin maps. In Garmin Nuvi 855 when you click the Address icon to search an address, the popup message "No map data found." will immediately appear. In other Garmin units like 205w and 265w you can enter the city, street and house number. Some addresses are already working when you search for it. Provided the point in the map contains keys for address search such addr:<category here> you can search for it. It's working in 205w. In Garmin Nuvi 855 i don't know what's the problem. It won't let me search for an address. It could be that firmware for Garmin Nuvi 8 series is looking for a starting index, but i'm not sure about this. I'm already using the latest firmware. I just updated last week. The problem is the same with the previous and latest firmware. -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------
Hi Maning,
Just an FYI to the great mkgmap devs. :) This feedback came from someone using my OSM-PH garmin maps.

Would it work if you generated the map with mkgmap --index and transferred it from MapSource to the device? As far as I understand, this would create a working MDR section in the gmapsupp.img. It is not yet possible to generate a "device MDR" directly from mkgmap. Steve just wrote about this a couple of days ago, asking for help. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/MDR_Subfile_Format (Sorry, the search works on my Edge 705, I am not going to invest time in it.) Best regards, Marko
Thanks! I asked the reporter to do this. On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 12:54 PM, Marko Mäkelä <marko.makela@iki.fi> wrote:
