[mkgmap-dev] setting display_name to "name "

Sun Mar 21 13:21:13 GMT 2010

It seems that dipslay_name internally in mkgmap is not allowed to be set 
to "name". If identical it will not be set at all. Or is this really a 
Garmin limitation?
To me it seems to be rather an mkgmap bug.

If I set: {name '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox:6:4} ${name}' | 
'${ref|highway-symbol:hbox:6:4}' | '${name}'; set 
display_name='${ref}_${name}'}
Both name and display_name are set correctly.

If I change this to:
{name '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox:6:4} ${name}' | 
'${ref|highway-symbol:hbox:6:4}' | '${name}'; set display_name='${ref} 
${name}'}
then display_name is not set (hence only ref will show up in routing 
instructions).

Also splitting up the command into two lines, and setting 
dipsplay_name='${name}' after name in a second line it will not be set.
