I tried compiling the Geofabrik extract of Ireland, and could not get the address search to function correctly. I used the same options which I use for my map of Germany; address search works (more or less) for Germany. I also tried the same map of Ireland in MapSource: the address search also did not work correctly, so I think you can rule out gmapi-builder, Roadtrip, and Mac OS as factors. Both MapSource and Roadtrip attempted to search for address data, so I believe that the index generation worked correctly. In MapSource I could properly select streets and cities from the search dialog box, but it still could not find anything. Both programs crashed when I attempted to find a city. I don't know enough about mdr and mdx file formats, so I can't attempt an analysis. I assume that there is either missing address information in the Ireland map, or that something has gone wrong in the index creation. Sorry I could not help more. _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
