Hi, A bit of a strange thing: my Garmin mkgmap maps ask the "provincie" (Province? State? County? Whatever you guys call it over there ;) when I want to route to an address. I normally build my map with country="Netherlands" and country-abbr=NL, I also tried no country and abbrev, but it keeps asking for a "Provincie". Whatever I enter, Garmin can't find it and this makes routing to an address pretty much infeasible. On the regular map, it just asks me if I'm in the Netherlands and then I can enter street and city names. java -enableassertions -Xmx1800m -jar ~/garmintest/mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --country-name="" --country-abbr="" --family-name="Openstreetmap Netherlands `date -I`" --latin1 --remove-short-arcs --lower-case --preserve-element-order --location-autofill=1 --gmapsupp --route --net --tdbfile -c template.args What am I doing wrong? I guess this is just a wrong option somewhere? Valentijn
Hi Valentijn,
A bit of a strange thing: my Garmin mkgmap maps ask the "provincie" (Province? State? County? Whatever you guys call it over there ;) when I want to route to an address.

Whatever I enter, Garmin can't find it and this makes routing to an address pretty much infeasible. On the regular map, it just asks me if I'm in the Netherlands and then I can enter street and city names.

You're not doing anything wrong. It's a known problem with the address finding. Basically, it's only semi-functional. Searching for addresses or highway exits will probably never work well until the global index stuff is implemented. Cheers, Mark

AFAIK mkgmap is unable to get this feature working by now. To find an address you can use an alternative way: try the "Spelling" option to introduce the name of the street. I hope this help. Regards Carlos

I have the same problem on a Nüvi 250. Maps build with the --road-name-pois option. On my etrex this works, but not on the nuvi.

I can't find this option on my nuvi... Chris

If I recall correctly, the "--road-name-pois" option is necessary for the address search. I do not have a Nüvi, but this works (more or less) on an eTrex. I believe I must always enter an arbitrary house number (such as "1") for the search to work properly. (By the way, I think that the "--net" option is redundant if you use it with "--route".) Hope this helps.

Ah yes. I think I've been mistaken by the "no-sorted-roads" option, that says that "the find address or intersection functions will be lost", which made me think that they would work otherwise. Thanks for the update.

I believe I must always enter an arbitrary house number (such as "1") for the search to work properly. Actually, on my GPSMap 76Cxs the address search kind-of-works even without using the --road-name-pois option*. I have to enter a house number of some kind for it to work though (even if the destination doesn't actually have a number) and it only works for some addresses, but I haven't tested it fully as it's not a facility I actually need.
*At least, I haven't been enabling the --road-name-pois option when invoking mkgmap and I assume it isn't enabled by default.

Enabling road name POIs does not help the address search function. It's a completely separate function. It was provided as a cheap hack to get some form of road name searching. Arguably, it works better than the address search which, as we know, is less than perfect. Cheers, Mark
So is it there to address the "Find Interection" function on my GPS? Mark Burton wrote:
