Hi. I generate maps using the following options (among others) --net --route --index --split-name-index When loading the ready img file to a GPSMAP 66st it is very slow in searching for cities (FIND -> Cities). Searching for some location can take many minutes or even lock the unit in rare cases. The problem is present even if a specific map is selected and search is only conducted within that map. Loading the same img file on an old etrex vista hcx did show very fast city search. Does anyone know if the options given to mkgmap can impact negatively in this particular scenaio or if there can be some other option added to make city search faster? Side note: street name search is fast, but searching among All POIs is also slow. Regards Karl
Hi Karl, I've seen this problem on my Oregon when another map was installed (but not activated). The map was the Bicycling-Layer for Europe from http://osm.thkukuk.de/ I did not find out why it caused problems, but after renaming the corresponding *.img file the search was fast again.

Hi all, just for information, i'm using the GPSMAP 276Cx and all searches are very very slow. I think, GARMIN has changed the search algo within the firmware because on my former GPSMAP 276 i could'nt observe this slow searches. Am 11.11.2021 um 19:43 schrieb Gerd Petermann:

Hi. I treid renaming, but it did not help. Like somebody mentioned, it seems to be something that Garmin changed in the search alogorythm. Perhaps not much that one can do to when generating the map. Thanks anyhow! Karl On torsdag 11 november 2021 19:43:47 CET Gerd Petermann wrote:

Hi Karl, if you use the --lower-case option for you map please try without.

Hi Gerd, that map is not using --lower-case. But i have one other map generated with --lower-case, i did remove that map (with --lower-case) but it did not impact any search on the maps that were generated without --lower-case. Regards Karl.

I see the same with old and new GPSmap devices. On old devices (which are really slow compared with new devices), searching for POI is really fast. On new devices, the search is slow and get's slower with every additional installed map, even if this is disabled. But what is also visible: on the old device, what was found is limited, on new devices everything is found. Some people playing with modified indexes came to the conclusion, that it looks like old devices uses the index of a map to search for POI, while new devices go through the data of all installed maps. So depending on the number of POI your map have, the search is slower or faster. Thorsten
Thanks anyhow!
