[mkgmap-dev] postcodes

From Gerd Petermann gpetermann_muenchen at hotmail.com on Fri Dec 4 09:32:59 GMT 2015 

Hi Mike,

it seems that Garmin software only supports the search for postal codes
when house numbers are assigned to the road.
While looking at this problem I found one small error in mkgmap which I've
now
fixed with r3654, but that will not help in your case for node 2327523932.

Gerd
