[mkgmap-dev] How to add millions of addresses to your garmin maps of France

Wed Feb 4 23:30:28 GMT 2015

Hi Gerd,

With mkgmap-housenumbers2-r3439.zip :

- map with no BANO data :
« 3 Avenue Léopold Héder » in Cayenne (French Guiana) is positioned
closer to the building with number 9 than the one with number 3 (In
BaseCamp and GPS etrex 30).
Not very good !

- map with BANO data :
« 3 Avenue Léopold Héder » in Cayenne (French Guiana) is positioned
close to the correct building.
« 9 Avenue Léopold Héder » close to the correct building too.
(In BaseCamp and GPS etrex 30).
Very good !

The difference only come from the .pbf (with BANO data included or not)
because only mkgmap-housenumbers2-r3439 was used !

Weird, in my opinion ! I think I'll test again tomorrow…
