[mkgmap-dev] Searching cities

Tue Jul 2 16:51:14 BST 2013

The maps are generated with --index parameter, the problem comes from 
names starting with the kind of way, such as Calle, Avenida, Avda. etc. 
It has been commented here some times and I think Steve have some ideas 
on how to fix it. As Felix says, it could be managed in the styles, but 
I think it's not a good idea, because I've seen some cities where you 
have the same name for an avenue, an street or a plaza and if you remove 
that words from the name you won't know which one is the one you are 
looking for.
