[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v8] - alpha patch to support road find by name

Sun Mar 22 23:16:57 GMT 2009

v9 - based on r985. Now tries to reduce (connected) groups of roads with
the same name and city to just one entry - please test.

If you find that you are still seeing multiple entries for a road,
check the OSM data to see that the road really is sensibly defined,
i.e. it's quite possible to have a bunch of connected road segments
some of which have the same name and the others having no name - in
that case, the road will get listed more than once. Also, dual
carriageways will show up as two entries.

Feedback/comments welcome.

Hi,

The attached patch is for the current SVN trunk and it generates
the sorted road data that is required by the gps to find
roads/intersections by name.

As for the number field, I haven't thought yet how that would get its
data.

Please test this patch and report success/failure.

If it doesn't break anything for anyone, I would like to commit it
fairly soon as I think that quite a few people will be happy to have
street finding added to the trunk.

Cheers,

Mark
