Hi all, I am thinking about the country names that mkgmap puts into the map. (The following lines are valid for the locator branch but the differences to the trunk are quite small) At the moment the country name is taken from the country relation using the tag order defined by the name-tag-list option. This name is looked up in the LocatorConfig.xml. If there is a match (there should be one), the name defined in the LocatorConfig.xml is used as map wide country name. There is the shortcoming that this name need not be the same as specified by the name-tag-list option. So there is some work to do if you want to build a french map that uses french country names only. Would it make sense to use the LocatorConfig.xml just as a mapping tool for the three letter code (name:en => three letter code) and the real name is taken as defined by the name-tag-list option? This has the shortcoming that the relation names contains some administrative stuff "Federal Republic of Germany" instead of "Germany". Any thoughts? WanMil

The relation name could be written something like this: official_name="Bundesrepublik Deutschland" official_name:de="Bundesrepublik Deutschland" official_name:en="Federal Republic of Germany" official_name:fi="Saksan liittotasavalta" ... name="Deutschland" name:de="Deutschland" name:en="Germany" name:fi="Saksa" name:sv="Tyskland" ... Finland is defined like this, with both official_name and name: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/54224 Russia uses alt_name for the "everyday" name and name for the official name: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/60189 Best regards, Marko

I noticed that a few languages use name:* instead of alt_name:* for the "everyday" name and do not define the official name at all for Russia. Has there been any discussion on this on the tagging lists? I would not want to start an edit war. Marko

I have also seen name:* (official name) and short_name:*.
Hi all, short question. In the style files I use the following lines: mkgmap:postal_code!=* & addr:postcode=* { set mkgmap:postal_code='${addr:postcode}' } mkgmap:postal_code!=* & openGeoDB:postal_codes=* { set mkgmap:postal_code='${openGeoDB:postal_codes}' } mkgmap:postal_code!=* & mkgmap:postcode=* { set mkgmap:postal_code='${mkgmap:postalcode}' } But in Mapsource (or Garmin/Basecamp), I couldn't search for postal_codes. So what I'm doing wrong? Cheers Martin
Hi Martin, you need to use the locator branch (I am sure your are doing so). The last line in your style rules contains an error in the set (mkgmap:postcode instead of mkgmap:postalcode): mkgmap:postal_code!=* & mkgmap:postcode=* { set mkgmap:postal_code='${mkgmap:postcode}' } What are you searching for? POIs? Street names? Which search fields are you filling? There might be some problems left with searching for zip codes. It's not very well tested. WanMil

From the Nuvi (commercial map) of my Girlfriend I know, that when you search for streets, it also shows the postal-code. In Mapsource you can search for postal-codes, it also suggest postal-codes, but it couldn't find any streets. Other question: Is the pbf-support already included in r1965? I still get: Error at line 1, col 1 Bad file format: test.osm.pbf Error parsing file With http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-r1955.zip and http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-r1962.zip it works.

Postal codes are not shown when you search for streets but as far as I know it is possible to search for them. Maybe the index format must be changed slightly so that the postal codes are also displayed.

Yes. It is included since the first days of the locator branch. I have tested it today and it's working fine. Please check carefully that the latest osmpbf.jar and protobuf.jar are in the classpath. WanMil

This would be great!

Please check carefully that the latest osmpbf.jar and protobuf.jar are in the classpath.

How can I check this?! Isn't it included in the jar-file? I didn't compile it from trunk. I downloaded the following file: http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-locator-r1965.jar Don't forget, that it works with the "normal" versions. Martin

The jar files are not included in the locator branch. Download the trunk (http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-r1962.zip), unzip the file and replace the mkgmap.jar with the download of the locator branch (http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-locator-r1965.jar).

Coming back to the postal codes. I made a short test with the NUVI from my girlfriend. 1. Searching with the Garmin-Map: You have the choice to search for City/Zip/City&Zip http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/2194/115zv.png In the results you see it this way: http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/4187/137phj.png 2.

Hello, while searching for information how housenumbers are handled on Garmin devices I found a old thread. Postal_codes: When I use the display-tool I see that the zip-codes (mdr 6) are not sorted: --------- MDR 6 (ZIPs) --------------------------------------------------------- | | | Zip size: 2 | | | zip index 1 00f99def | 000000 | 40 | 64 map number 00f99df0 | 000001 | 2a 00 | the 42 zip in the map 00f99df2 | 000003 | 40 08 00 | offset in LBL 0x000840 | | | zip index 2 00f99df5 | 000006 | 40 | 64 map number 00f99df6 | 000007 | 35 00 | the 53 zip in the map 00f99df8 | 000009 | 40 2b 00 | offset in LBL 0x002b40 | | | zip index 3 ... I don't think/hope that sorting the postal_codes will fix the problem... I'ver read somewhere, that only in NT-Maps postal_codes are searchable... Maybe we just have to set some bits in the header... //Martin Am 19.06.2011 um 09:34 schrieb Martin:

Hi
while searching for information how housenumbers are handled on Garmin devices I found a old thread. Postal_codes: When I use the display-tool I see that the zip-codes (mdr 6) are not sorted:
They are sorted, first, according to the text of the label (ie the text of the zip code itself), and then by the map number (for entries that have the same zip). They don't appear to be sorted within the map tile LBL section that could be a problem -- everything else in that section is sorted.
I don't think/hope that sorting the postal_codes will fix the problem... I'ver read somewhere, that only in NT-Maps postal_codes are searchable... Maybe we just have to set some bits in the header...
I agree, I think the fact that you are not given the option to search on zips means that it is not going to work. If sorting were the problem you would have the option, but the search would often fail. That has been the experience everywhere else anyway. ..Steve
