[mkgmap-dev] addr:place support

Sat Apr 4 20:09:01 BST 2015

Hi Florian,

what would be the solution for this case?
Should mkgmap change the name to Bosfeld for the part of "Bosfelder Weg"
that
runs through Bosfeld ?
That would mean something like roate the four labels so that the last is
lost
and put Bosfeld as first label. 

I seem to remember similar cases in other hamlets, so maybe 
we can use this as a general rule?
