[mkgmap-dev] Country unification in address search

Thu Nov 12 19:52:29 GMT 2015

Well I use the bounds file - updated every month or so from here: 
http://osm.thkukuk.de/data/bounds-latest.zip
As for my address rules - I have the same rules for set mkgmap:country 
as in the default style.

I wonder if adding:
mkgmap:country=AT {set mkgmap:country=AUT}
mkgmap:country=Aut {set mkgmap:country=AUT}

would be of any help. But if I assume that the bug is in the bounds file 
- couldn't there be a possibility for mkgmap to harmonize it according 
to locator.config rules - they are pretty much covering all problem cases.
