Hi, <br>
<br>
I have a question about Garmin device compatibility. <br>
<br>
I'm generating maps from openstreetmap for my garmin devices, using
the workflow<br>
<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>download several pbf map segments as needed for the next trip
(usually from <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.geofabrik.de">www.geofabrik.de</a> )</li>
<li>combining them into one pbf file with osmosis</li>
<li>split it with splitter</li>
<li>convert the split fragments into garmin format with mkgmap</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
The resulting gmapsupp.img works well on my very old Garmin eTrex
Venture Cx , all functions as expected including address search. <br>
</p>
<p>But on my new Garmin eTrex 30, the address search does not find
streets (sometimes 3 or 4 of them). It does display streets in the
map view including their correct street names. You can point onto
a street and it mentions it's correct name. But address search
does not find Streets in most cases. Only a very little number of
streets gets known to the device. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
Any hint or idea about the problem or how to fix it?<br>
</p>

</p>
<p>regards<br>
