[mkgmap-dev] More on Address Searching

Sun Mar 21 12:52:00 GMT 2010

I know address searching is a work in progress but I thought I'd share
the following as it seems wrong to me

On my 605 I was using the address search to search for Deansgate in
Manchester but couldn't find it. As I knew where it was anyway I
navigated to it on screen and hovered the pointer over it at which point
I got a tool tip which said "A56 Deansgate". I then used the address
search to find "A56 Deansgate" and it was found straight away.

Deansgate has the tags highway:primary,  name:Deansgate and ref:A56 and
and it seems the ref and name are being added together when forming the
name in the search list. This seems to be the wrong behaviour to me as I
had no idea that Deansgate was part of the A56 and it is known simply as
Deansgate

Other than a couple of tweaks to the lines file I'm using the default
style and was wondering if this behaviour can be changed and if so how

Cheers
