[mkgmap-dev] PATCH reduce index size

Sun Dec 5 10:24:49 GMT 2021

Hi all,

as a result of the discussion with Felix in this thread https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2021q4/033394.html
I've created a rather small patch to change the meaning of the --mdr7-del option.

With this patch the option has one more effect:
If --split-name-idex is in use, any additional entry produced by that 
option which starts with a string that appears in the given list is skipped.

I think this is probably wanted by all users and it should not cause trouble with existing scripts.

For Felix sample with a single tile the PC index size decreases from 449.536 bytes to 409.600, 
index in gmapsupp it's about 31kb bytes smaller.

With the default style the change should be much smaller.

Gerd
