[mkgmap-dev] addr:street and street name matching for house number searchs

Wed Aug 12 12:54:51 BST 2015

HousenumberRoad throws a warning when addr:street from a node and name 
of the street the node is next to are not equal, even if they differ 
only in the capitalization. See for example nodes 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2486105470 and 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2486105464 (addr:street=carrer del 
Montseny) which are next to way http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8590864 
with name=Carrer del Montseny. One of the names is more correct than the 
other but, having in mind that Garmin changes capitalization 
arbitrarily, I'm not sure if we should keep these warnings.
Another case to discuss is when one of addr:street or way name contains 
special letters and the other one not (eg. Asturies vs Astúries). Here 
one of the names is wrongly written and should be corrected in OSM data, 
so may be worth keeping the warning.
