Sometimes there are phonenumbers added, but they cannot easily be recognized as phone numbers since thy lack the prefixes. One time, I thought they were artifacts from the generating code instead of phone numbers. :-) The possible keys are really well defined, so it is easy for an experienced Java-Programmer to add a few new functions. That would also be easier to implement and it would not be necessary to change someting in the interface or style files. I looked at the Java-code: it would really just need some new functions that are pretty equal to the existing ones. You would just need the new mkgmap and see a lot more information. :-) Dani _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
