[mkgmap-dev] Address search index questions.

Wed Dec 30 19:17:41 GMT 2015

Hello there, i have just started to use mkgmap a few days ago and managed to do everything i wanted without issues.
However, i have a question that i can not find already answered anywhere:
The fact that address search only works (on a garmin device) when the search string starts with the exact same characters of the matches is a limitation on the Garmin OS, on mkgmap, or am i doing something wrong ?

For example, if the street name is “Manuel Belgrano”, and i search for “belgrano”, i will never get a match, however, if i search for “manuel”, i will get a match. Same happens for cities.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks.
