[mkgmap-dev] place/city search question(Re: Index branch - success!)

Mon Feb 14 03:01:35 GMT 2011

In our country, places and cities are usually under this hierarchy:

village, city, province, region, country

I have the following in my point style:
# add is_in tags if there is one
place=city {name '${name}, ${is_in:state}' | '${name}'} [0x0400 resolution 16]
place=hamlet [0x0d00 resolution 23]
place=locality [0x0d00 resolution 23]
place=subdivision [0x0d00 resolution 23]
place=suburb [0x0d00 resolution 23]
place=town {name '${name}, ${is_in:state}' | '${name}'} [0x0800 resolution 18]
place=village {name '${name}, ${is_in:town}, ${is_in:state}' |
'${name}, ${is_in:town}' | '${name}, ${is_in:state}' | '${name}'}
[0x0c00 resolution 21]
place=purok [0x0d00 resolution 23]

When using the new street search (basecamp and nuvi), I get different
result when doing:
street near village
street near city

The street is located on the village within the city.  I also get this
"Disputed Territory"  when you click the details of the search
results.  Is this a data problem?

Great work on the index btw!
