[mkgmap-dev] Index and equally named cities

Thu Jun 2 13:36:00 BST 2011

Martin, Steve,

compiling only the given tile I cannot reproduce the problem. MapSource 
search is ok and searching on the Oregon finds Schafblumenhalde too.

Anyhow I have reviewed some relevant source code parts and have a 
question Steve maybe can answer.

The class PlacesFile contains the methods:
	City createCity(Country country, String name, boolean unique)
	City createCity(Region region, String name, boolean unique)

They are called when creating a city from a place tag (unique=true) and 
when creating a road (unique=false).
I don't understand in detail what the unique parameter should do.

I don't know how the index is generated (tile by tile or all-in-one), but I hope this helps you to find the problem.
