[mkgmap-dev] FW: mkgmap in NYC

Fri Oct 24 21:52:27 BST 2014

Brian: Address search in the US map from 2014.10.23 should now works for
New York. I've tested it in simulation mode but it would be great if you
could test it out to confirm it's working as well. Thanks for pointing out
the issue.

Gerd: I've attached a patch that I'm using to fix the New York address
search. I've also included a small change in Canada and the US which
removes the 'City of' in front of city names when it's there. Nobody uses
the official 'City of' form of city names so it doesn't make sense to have
it in the default style. Let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks, Ben
