Commit: r2162: If the global address index option is given alongside the --gmapsupp
Version 2162 was commited by steve on 2012-01-06 16:58:50 +0000 (Fri, 06 Jan 2012) If the global address index option is given alongside the --gmapsupp option, then the index will be created directly within the gmapsupp.img file, so that address search will work on devices without having to install via MapSource. If in addition the tdbfile option is given, then the existing MapSource style index will also be created. This will take about twice the amount of memory, so it best to avoid doing this.
Great!! Thanks for merging the branch. Now mkgmap fully supports address search. Isn't that worthy to post that as news in the osm wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:News ? Thanks Steve! Great work! WanMil

Yep, great work! Now I will have to apply some pressure to the Finnish community. Our government finally came to its senses and will release almost all map data by May 2012. Now it is only a matter of transferring the boundary data. I do have questions that might be good to answer in the announcement: Where do the country names and city names come from? With --location-autofill=nearest, is it always from the nearest place=* node? Which tags will have to be present in that case? What will other --location-autofill options do if the boundary data is incomplete or broken? Best regards, Marko
Awsome guys! A big thank you all for this and all the other tweaks, improvements and new features. Steve, do I understand it correctly that if I want to create a gmapsupp and also a tdb then I better run Mkgmap twice? Once with --gmappsupp and once with --tdb? Also, would you be so kind to put a compiled version of r2162 on the download page? Thanks in advance. On 06-01-12 17:58, svn commit wrote:

Hi

It is only a matter of the amount of memory you have available. If you have enough to build both at once, then you could just run it once. I think it would be possible to modify the code so that the memory use is mostly shared between the different indexes. I'm not planning to work on such a thing in the immediate future, but perhaps someone else will. If that happens then compiling both at once might be reasonable. ..Steve
