[mkgmap-dev] How do I transform the name of all Ways?

Sun Jun 12 22:59:17 BST 2016

Hi Alexandre, 

I use an Excel spreadsheet (enclosed) to do this kind of transformation
for Dutch-language street names. There's a macro (Alt-f11) which writes
a file "fix_names" (the path is hard-coded in the macro code, sorry
about that - please edit to suit). There's a tab for prefixes, one for
suffixes, and one for the matching rules. You need to "include" this
"fix_names" from an appropriate place in the "lines" file.

I hope it's useful - please let me know if you have any questions!
