[mkgmap-dev] Searching for postal_code & pbf-support

Thu Jun 16 17:37:41 BST 2011

From the Nuvi (commercial map) of my Girlfriend I know, that when you search for streets, it also shows the postal-code. In Mapsource you can search for postal-codes, it also suggest postal-codes, but it couldn't find any streets.

Other question: Is the pbf-support already included in r1965? I still get:
Error at line 1, col 1
Bad file format: test.osm.pbf
Error parsing file

With http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-r1955.zip and http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-r1962.zip it works.

Cheers
Martin
