Any place tagged as city/town/village should be in the cities list. Not sure what that means. I searched for my street and it showed a near by area with a different name than the city the street is located at. Is there anything written on how the relationship of streets to city/state/country works for mkgmap purposes? You need to send the map to the device from MapSource. The gmapsupp.img generated by mkgmap doesn't (yet) include the address index. Ok, I will have to try that again then. I tried to install the gmapsupp.img file and didn't use MapSource to do it. Good to know so that next time I try, I will use MapSource.

The way mkgmap (trunk) assigns streets to places takes into account information from nearest place, is_in, is_in:* and addr:* tags and also depends on the --location-autofill parameter value, but it is known to work not optimally. Currently a new way to assign addresses is being developded in locator branch, which is getting promising results, so I think in short you'll have your street in your city;-) You need to send the map to the device from MapSource.
