[mkgmap-dev] gmapsupp + index and Berlin/Friedrichstr.

Mon Jan 9 11:19:41 GMT 2012

Hi,

I done some tests. You can find the results here:
http://snailrun.de/all_tests.zip

First I downloaded a tile which contain only the Friedrichstraße in Berlin:
http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/xapi?way[name=Friedrichstraße][bbox=13.227,52.163,13.580,53.042][@meta]
Then I build mkgmap from trunk and build a map using the 
--gmapsupp-option (only_fs.zip). When I search for the Friedrichstraße, 
I didn't fine any Friedrichstraße.
So I added a further street (Rheinhardtstraße) to the osm-file. And now 
I can find every Friedrichstraße on the tile (with_other_only_fs.zip).
So I downloaded a further tile:
overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/xapi?way[name=Friedrichstraße][bbox=6.506,48.991,7.628,49.743][@meta]
When I now build the map with the first tile (w/o Reinhardtstraße) I 
also couldn't find the Friedrichstraße, but the other Friedrichstraße in 
the other cities. (two_only_fs.zip)
If I use the tile with Rheinhardtstraße I can find the Friedrichstraße 
also in Berlin. (with_other_with_other.zip)

For all tests I used my Oregon, I don't have Mapsource or Basecamp here 
(I'm using Ubuntu).
For the streetsearch I entered the City. If I leave it out, I can find 
the Friedrichstraße every time in Berlin.
Also if I find the Friedrichstraße now, if I build more tiles it's not 
possible to find the Friedrichstraße (I forgot to mention that the 
Friedrichstraße is just an example, there are more streets, which 
couldn't be found).

Cheers,
Martin
