Hi Felix,

I'd like to reproduce the problem. Please let me know

a way id or post a small input file that shows the problem.

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.

Hi Felix,

I think the results depends on the bounds file and your style.

For example, we used to have the rule

mkgmap:country!=* & addr:country=* { set mkgmap:country='${addr:country}' }

in inc/address. The tag addr:country typically contains a 3-byte-ISO code like AUT,

but we expect 2-byte-code in mkgmap:country.

So, now we have the rule

mkgmap:country!=* & addr:country=* { set mkgmap:country='${addr:country|country-ISO:}' }

I am not sure if the "wrong" value was written to the img file, but it caused problems in the

housenumber code. If that doesn't help, please post details that allow to reproduce the problem.

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Country unification in address search

Am I alone with the problem that for any country the unification of countries to a single choice in address search is not fully working?

e.g. in Austria I get:
Österreich (AUT) --- most addresses are found under this entry.
Austria (AT)  // AT (Austria)-- nearly no addresses found here - but it exists so some addresses are classified like this
Aut -- find every result twice - but in essence it's the same as Österreich (AUT)

I thought

    <country name="Österreich" abr="AUT" streetBeforeHousenumber="true" postalcodeBeforeCity="true">
        <variant>Austria</variant>
        <variant>AT</variant>
        <variant>AUT</variant>
        <variant>Oesterreich</variant>
        <variant>Oestereich</variant>
        <variant>Östereich</variant>
    </country>

in locatorconfig.xml should solve this. How is it possible that I do get addresses in the wrong country? In Canada i.e. it's really bad.
