Hello,

Would it be possible that the new street search will be directly supported by mkgmap without uploading the map using Mapsource to the GPS device (nüvi)? At the moment it is not yet implemented. Priority task now is to get the index running without errors. If this is finished, then the next step will be to generate directly a gmapsupp.img usable at the devices. This is an often asked feature on this list. IMHO this should be possible in not to far away future. It is actually possible to create a multi-layer gmapsupp.img (SRTM data + OSM + some thematic layer) and make the street search working on the GPS device? In other words: does Mapsource support multilayer gmapsupp.img?

No idea.

Where is the street index stored on the device after uploading the map using Mapsource?

The street index is contained as a subfile in the gmapsupp.img, which is stored on the sdcard/device. It has a slightly other format than the mdr.img. So it needs some work to get it ready.

Thank you for some info!
