Hi There was a bit of discussion about postal codes last month and I don't know if we can make them work in all cases, but a first step is to sort them in the img tiles. They certainly should be sorted like everything else, so I am committing a fix to do that. My OSM UK maps don't have many postcodes in them, so if someone who is interested in working zip codes please test in a suitable area. In the few cases where I tested in MapSource it correctly filtered by post code. ..Steve

Great Steve! I will test it, when I am back at home ;)

Hello Steve, I've done some tests. Something goes wrong with the index. Now the streets have a wrong zip-code. Correct(r2210): Zwickauer Str, 01187 Dresden http://snailrun.de/2210.zip With r2215: Zwickauer Str, 01307 Dresden (Wrong!) http://snailrun.de/2215.zip But anyway, no zip-search is possible with my Nuvi. As I wrote you earlier CityNavigator-maps have a other format (e.g. the offset of the FAT is 0x1200, not 0x600). //Cheers, Martin Am 20.02.2012 um 14:36 schrieb Steve Ratcliffe:

For Nuernberg, all streets have the wrong postal code. They have all the same inside of a zip area, but it's the wrong one for that area. Looks like a off-by-one, the correct zip code is always used in one of the neightbour areas. Thorsten

Ahhh yes! Sorry about that. It was using the index into the unsorted zip codes, not the index after sorting. We've had that bug before... I'm applying a fix now. ..Steve

Thanks! Now it works correct (for me). Am 20.02.2012 um 20:25 schrieb Steve Ratcliffe:

Hi! As this seems to work now, I ask myself what I need to do to my custom style in order to activate it for my etrex vista. I copied the first few lines of the default style's points file to my points file when the search index became available and it worked, but this time I can't spot any changes in the default style that relate to the new postcode index. Many thanks, -Martin
