[mkgmap-dev] City search problem

Thu Oct 4 00:58:22 BST 2018

Hello.
I release daily assemblies of all countries that were part of the ex-USSR
and several other countries ( maptourist.org <https://maptourist.org>  ).
The amount of data becomes very large and will soon reach 4GB of the maximum
size of one gmapsupp container. Therefore, I decided to divide my assembly
into two parts - Eastern and Western. I made the separation along the border
(admin_level = 3). But I found a problem when searching for cities. Now I
will try to explain what I discovered:

I prepared two parts of the OSM data with a common border and compiled
east-gmapsupp.img and west-gmapsupp.img. I use Splitter v591 & Mkgmap v4240.
Splitter processing the western part of the data makes several rectangular
areas. The data clipping boundary crossing several tiles. As a result, half
the area of these tiles contains no data.
The empty space of these tiles covers a non-empty map from the eastern part.
Now I activate east-gmapsupp.img and west-gmapsupp.img in my Garmin
Nuvi-1490 and on the empty space of the described western tiles, I get a
problem when searching for all eastern cities in this area of overlap.
Only the search for cities does not work. Address search and routing work
fine. I tried the same and different FID. The problem is still here.

I plan to compile more maps of many other countries, but this problem makes
it difficult to use two adjacent maps simultaneously.
What solution?
