[mkgmap-dev] [locator] Option change

Tue Jul 12 22:46:53 BST 2011

I have committed a change to the locator branch (r1994) affects some 
location specific mkgmap options in the branch.

1. boundsdirectory has been renamed to bounds

2. location-autofill now contains a list of parameters
location-autofill=[option1,[option2]]
	Controls how country, region, city and zip info is gathered for
	cities, streets and pois.
	Default: bounds

     bounds    The preprocessed boundaries are used. The assignment
               of boundary type => country, region etc. is configured in
               the style file

     is_in     The is_in tag is analyzed for country and region
               information if these information is not already
               set

     nearest   If all methods before failed the city/hamlet points that
               are closest to the element are used to assign the missing
               information.

The old location-autofill values (0 to 3) are autoconverted to the new 
options although some buggy and bad coded functionality has been removed 
from the Locator and has to be reimplemented (e.g. fuzzy search - need 
to be reimplemented by a good soundslike algorithm).

So now anybody can control with the mkgmap options if the time costly 
usage of the preprocessed boundaries should happen or not.
