[mkgmap-dev] Address search icon behavior varies in some gps units

Wed Mar 17 03:35:45 GMT 2010

Hi,

Just an FYI to the great mkgmap devs. :)  This feedback came from
someone using my OSM-PH garmin maps.

In Garmin Nuvi 855 when you click the Address icon to search an
address, the popup message "No map data found." will immediately
appear. In other Garmin units like 205w and 265w you can enter the
city, street and house number.

Some addresses are already working when you search for it. Provided
the point in the map contains keys for address search such
addr:<category here> you can search for it. It's working in 205w. In
Garmin Nuvi 855 i don't know what's the problem. It won't let me
search for an address. It could be that firmware for Garmin Nuvi 8
series is looking for a starting index, but i'm not sure about this.

I'm already using the latest firmware. I just updated last week. The
problem is the same with the previous and latest firmware.
