[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap address processing question

From Charlie Ferrero charlie at cferrero.net on Tue Apr 26 07:06:59 BST 2011

How does mkgmap process the addr: tags in POIs?  For instance, take the 
following POI (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/918409138)
addr:city=Abu Dhabi
addr:country=AE
addr:housename=Fairmont Bab al Bahr
phone:+971 2 654 3238

In Mapsource or on the GPS, the restaurant is given the address:
Frankie's
Fix My Address
Abu Dhabi
+971 2 654 3238


Whereas I would have expected it to say:
Frankie's
Fairmont Bab al Bahr
Abu Dhabi
AE
+971 2 654 3238

Does mkgmap ignore addr:housename?  What about addr:full and 
addr:housenumber...?

Thanks,

Charlie
