[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH] cope with duplicate city names

Fri Jan 30 00:22:18 GMT 2009

Hi,

This patch goes on top of the very latest SVN revision (856) and it
makes mkgmap cope with duplicate city names. It's often the case that
small villages/hamlets have the same name - for example, I live in a
hamlet called Chorlton and there's another Chorlton no more than 20
miles away.

With this patch, the GPS will know about all of the cities with the
same name rather than just getting one of them as was happening before.

BTW - gpsmapedit seems to squash duplicates together so it only lists the
duplicated city name once in its list of cities.

Cheers,

Mark
