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

Mon Aug 17 09:42:23 BST 2015

Hi Carlos,

today I revieved the source and found that my statement was
no longer true, mkgmap "knows" the roads and can ignore the 
capitalization. My argument was based on a previous version in the 
housenumber2 branch.
The attached patch will solve many, but probably not all cases.
Instead of
WARN: uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.osmstyle.housenumber.HousenumberRoad  e:\osm_out_work\niedersachsen\20150810_082633\63240021.o5m: found no plausible road for address Am kleinen Esch 1D(0) http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1601720743

it will now print
WARN: uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.osmstyle.housenumber.HousenumberGenerator  e:\osm_out_work\niedersachsen\20150810_082633\63240021.o5m: accepting match in spite of different capitalization Am Kleinen Esch 1D (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/43561741) house: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1601720743
and it will use the address.

I did not check special cases, e.g. when there are multiple close roads with different spelling.
Also, addr:interpolation ways with different spelling may not yet fully work,
but it should help in most cases.

A binary is here:
