Patch: Add Ireland to LocatorConfig.xml

It would be great if somebody could add the following patch to improve the address support in Ireland: Index: LocatorConfig.xml =================================================================== --- LocatorConfig.xml (revision 1852) +++ LocatorConfig.xml (working copy) @@ -26,6 +26,11 @@ <variant>Italy</variant> <variant>IT</variant> </country> + <country name="Ireland" abr="IRL" regionOffset="3"> + <variant>Republic of Ireland</variant> + <variant>Éire</variant> + <variant>IE</variant> + </country> <country name="France" abr="FRA"> </country> <country name="España" abr="ESP" poiDispFlag="0xc"> Thanks, Dermot -- -------------------------------------- Igaühel on siin oma laul ja ma oma ei leiagi üles

I think it would be better, if this file would be external, so every user could edit this file. Maybe a good place for collecting all the names of the countries would be a wiki-page. Henning

If you place LocatorConfig.xml in a sub-directory called "resources" in the same directory where you process the osm files (i.e., the directory where you call mkgmap from the command line), then this file will be used instead. That way, you can easily add your own country data without recompiling. Cheers.

I have applied your patch and added a very long list of other countries from the english wikipedia. It can be used as a starting point for patches to this file. WanMil

Thanks! I committed some variants for Nordic countries and Estonia. Marko

With 1860 everything seems to be assigned crazy for me. When compiling Austria from Geofabrik, and even setting the country name/abbrevation via commandline, Vienna ends up in Czech Rebublic, lotta cities in Germany and so on. Is there a problem with Umlauts? I have found very few cities in AUT - whereas for most other countries it shows the full name of Germany, Czech Republic and so on. Maybe problems with Umlauts in the list? I can only say, that 1858 was far superior in matching the right country AND city. I have again problems of finding a street when entering city name too (mind though that I have a peculiar setup in my style-file, in so far that I put in all cities with name:en in resolution 24 0x900 on top of the normal city for being able to find cities by their english name and local name).
