Address search on device with --x-split-name-index option

Hi all, not sure how this works on other devices. I have a map containing a part of the alps with parts of Germany, Switzerland and France. On my Oregon 600 when I search for an address I have some dialogs 1) select a country (I select Switzerland) 2) select city or select "search all" 3) Enter Street name. I can type a few characters and press enter. The device presents a list of road names matching the selected characters. 4) Last is to enter the house number. I can leave it empty to search for streets. If I select a city (Feuerthalen)in step 2) everything seems to work fine. It lists "Obere Rheingasse" as well as "Rheingasse" when I enter "Rheinga". If I select "search all" the results are weird. Sometimes I get "no result, change search parameters", sometimes results look ok. When I change the code in mdr20 to ignore the additional entries produced with the "--x-split-name-index" option the problem seems to be solved, I just don't find "Obere Rheingasse" when I search for "Rheingasse". Does anybody see better results in this case with a map produced with trunk? Gerd

I think I got the same results on my Oregon 600, so thats why I dont use --x-split-name-index ________________________________ Van: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> namens Gerd Petermann <GPetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com> Verzonden: zondag 9 april 2017 01:15:02 Aan: mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk Onderwerp: [mkgmap-dev] Address search on device with --x-split-name-index option Hi all, not sure how this works on other devices.

Hi
When I change the code in mdr20 to ignore the additional entries produced with the "--x-split-name-index" option the problem seems to be solved, I just don't find "Obere Rheingasse" when I search for "Rheingasse".
The on device version of mdr20 certainly supports this, so it should work even if it is broken now. We need to find out if this ever worked properly eg in r3472 or r3449 ..Steve

Hi Steve, okay, I'll try with the older versions.

Hi Steve, same problem with r3449 and r3472. I did a clean svn checkout for both and compiled and copied the jar into my My options: --max-jobs --route --bounds=bounds.zip --index --housenumbers --gmapsupp --x-split-name-index -c template.args The template.args contains a few tiles in the alps. I've uploaded them to http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/346/split.zip in case you want to try on your own.

Hi Gerd,
same problem with r3449 and r3472.
Oh that is a shame. Does it work if mapsource creates the gmapsupp? The mdr20 looks similar in either case, although the repeat flags are incorrect in the mkgmap generated one. ..Steve

Hi Steve, good question. The street search works but searching for "Rheing" in Switzerland doesn't list "Obere Rheingasse". The city search is similar, I also don't see "Obere Rheingasse" when I search for "Rheing" in Feuerthalen. I do find "Rue de la Concorde" when I search for "Conc" in France and also when I search it in City Huningue in France. Unfortunately MdrDisplay fails to print the mdr 22 index for the gmapsupp produced by MapSource. It writes a few lines and then an error: --------- MDR 22 (streets by country) ------------------------------------------ | | | Record 1 000abf53 | 000000 | 02 | 2 map number | | | street 0 R 000abf54 | 000001 | 8d | flag 141 | | | Record 2 000abf55 | 000002 | cb | 203 map number | | | street 0 R 000abf56 | 000003 | 80 | flag 128 ... 000abf6b | 000018 | 01 | 1 map number | | | street 0 R 000abf6c | 000019 | 34 | flag 52 | | | Record 14 000abf6d | 00001a | 75 | 117 map number Failed in section 22: java.lang.AssertionError: not a map number 117 Similar problem with the gmapsupp produed by r3449: --------- MDR 22 (streets by country) ------------------------------------------ | | | Record 1 0012a419 | 000000 | 03 | 3 map number | | | street 0 R 0012a41a | 000001 | 61 | flag 97 | | | Record 2 0012a41b | 000002 | 4b | 75 map number Failed in section 22: java.lang.AssertionError: not a map number 75 Gerd ________________________________________ Von: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> im Auftrag von Steve Ratcliffe <steve@parabola.me.uk> Gesendet: Montag, 10.

Hi Steve, sorry, maybe I made a mistake while testing. The search for "Rheing" in Feuerthalen shows a list with "Rheingasse" and "Rheingutstrasse", when I select "Rheingasse" and leave the house number field empty it lists "Rheingasse 10", "Obere Rheingasse" , "Untere Rheingasse" and "Rheingasse". The search for "Rheing" in Switzerland (no City) also lists "Rheingasse" and "Rheingutstrasse" , when I select "Rheingasse" and leave house number empty it shows a map with Rheingasse 2 in Basel. I expected to see a list with all roads named "Rheingasse" (or maybe all roads containing "Rheingasse") in Switzerland, but the device only shows the one in Basel. I am sitting near Bremen, distance to Basel is 598km , distance to Feuerthalen is 580km, so maybe it just selects the first match. One point that might be interesting: I compare the listing produced by MdrDisplay for the gmapsupp produced by r3449 and the one from MapSource. I see a much longer list in Mdr17 for r3449.

Hi Steve, I just noticed that the gmapsupp produced by MapSource changes a lot when I enable/disable option --x-split-name-index, so it probably calculates the gmapsupp index based on the index calculated by mkgmap, not from scratch. If that is true it is probably not a good idea to use that as a reference.

Hi Gerd
I just noticed that the gmapsupp produced by MapSource changes a lot when I enable/disable option --x-split-name-index, so it probably calculates the gmapsupp index based on the index calculated by mkgmap, not from scratch. If that is true it is probably not a good idea to use that as a reference.
It is true that it uses the desktop index to generate the device index, but it is still useful information because the formats are different and so it has to calculate those, and some things have to be recalculated anyway. So as you noted it appears to be fixing up mdr17, and it also fixes the repeat flags. ..Steve

Oh yes you are right, from a quick look it appears that mkgmap is ignoring the name offset when creating mdr17 so there are a lot of extra and out of order entries. ..Steve

Hi Steve, I think that means that mdr17 should only see those mdr7 records which have getNameOffset()==0 ? BTW: Why do we fill mdr17 when index is created for the PC? It seems not to be written but requires memory.

Hi Steve, r3893 creates now the same mdr17 records in gmapsupp as MapSource when map is created with --x-split-name-index. Please review my changes in the branch. I still see one small difference in Mdr 4: mkgmap writes this entry 00000250 | 000018 | 2a 00 00 | Type 0x2a00. Unknown 0x0 and MapSource doesn't. Maybe the sub type 0 is not needed what other subtypes follow?

That's true, it is not used and does not need to be calculated for the desktop index. ..Steve _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
