[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v10] - patch to support road find by name (now thinking about putting this in trunk)

Mon Mar 30 10:19:03 BST 2009

Sorry for the delay, my subscriber cable was accidentally cut by
road construction workers on Thursday and fixed today.

I'm not Paul, but I couldn't resist.  The roads were nice and dry on
Saturday morning when my 3-year-old wanted to have a ride on our family
bike (Santana Cabrio Quad, currently configured as a triplet).  It was
already pouring some snow flakes when we went for a quick ride.  An hour
later, there was some 5 cm (2 inches) of snow everywhere.  All in all,
we probably got 3 inches (15 cm) on Saturday.  I was hoping for
summer-like road conditions soon, but now it looks like we must wait for
a couple of more weeks for the first real family ride.

One failure that I've had for a longer time is that I can't find the
intersection Sillitie/Nahkiaisentie or Sillitie/Nieriäisentie.
Nahkiaisentie/Nieriäisentie is found fine.  Could it be a problem with
T-intersections?  Two more T-intersections that are not found:
Jokivarrenkuja/Nahkiaisentie, Sorvatie/Nieriäisentie.  Here are the
intersections:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/288480793
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/288481297

Here is one more failing T-intersection where the names of all three
intersecting ways change:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/288485085

I failed to find both these:

Nieriäisenkuja/Nahkiaisentie
Sorvatie/Nahkiaisentie (the main road)

However, Nieriäisenkuja/Sorvatie is found, reported as
"Nieriäisenkuja & Sorvatie & Nahkiaisentie".  I also tried
it as Sorvatie/Nieriäisenkuja, successfully.

Best regards,
