is tag matching case sensitive?
Hi! I've always thought that matching tag values is case insensitive. But today I found a situation where colour='#00ff00' rule doesn't match when tag value is '#00FF00'. creating a rule (colour='#00ff00' | colour='#00FF00') solved my problem. Is it a bug in mkgmap or this kind of matching should by design be case sensitive? Maybe the hash sign causes trouble somewhere. best regards Michal Rogala
Hi Michal, the tag is evaluated with the java method String.equals(), so yes, it is case sensitive. Gerd Michał Rogala wrote

thanks for information :). But don't you think that such matching should be case insensitive? If by mistake some OSM user creates highway=Primary or trail with colour=Red such object won't appear in mkgmap compilation. best regards Michal Rogala 2014-03-17 15:37 GMT+01:00 GerdP <gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com>:

Hi Michal, I think the idea is : "garbage in, garbage out" If the OSM renderer treats highway=Primary in the same way as highway=primary, we should also do that, but I doubt that this is true. Gerd Michał Rogala wrote

A search indicates that OSM tags are case sensitive and are expected to all be lowercase except for names, example given: highway=Unclassified needs to be highway=unclassified for it to work properly. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners_Guide_1.4.1 So I believe being case sensitive for OSM tag matching is the proper behavior.
