Double Entries in Search Index
I just checked that in City Navigator many streets can be found under several cities. Especially in Vienna and other cities that are both a Land and a city this would be very useful. Although I would like to be able to define that I can search for streets in both the english name city, as well as the local name of the city if an english name exists (that's not as important though). For the address search in Vienna to be useful one currently needs this additional rule: ( mkgmap:country=AT | mkgmap:country=AUT ) & mkgmap:admin_level4=* & name=Wien { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level4}' } I think other cities that have the same problem could be Berlin, Hamburg, Hong Kong..... Oh and besides AT is missing in the country replacement list for Austria....

What's the problem with Vienna? Any example? For my tests it works fine.

Hamburg has a problem and this rule is necessary for it, yes. Other german cities works fine. Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk, Project Manager/Release Manager SLES SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)

Well noone would assume that he has to enter Vienna as a state instead of a city. Vienna is both a state and a city, just like Hamburg or Berlin. admin_level=8 is used to specify one of the 23 districts of Vienna (Wiener Bezirke).
It needs to be possible to use either the city or the bezirk as city (even though usually for everyone the postcode is enough and noone searches after the Bezirk). That's the way it is implemented in most maps (and all garmin maps).
