Is there any knowledge on how house numbers are encoded in > garmin maps or not? It would be possible to create simple POI for each house number and using a searchable Garmin code for them. I was already thinking about this, but on my nüvi 755 I have no way to enter numbers in the POI search.... :-( So it would be an sub-optimal workaround too. Or create a custom Garmin POI file using GPS Babel and not at all exploring the way via mkgmap and gmapsupp.img ? In the meantime, I have created a layer containing the addr:housenumber but using a not searchable garmin code. It is possible to select this point on the map using the finger and then "Go" Thank to --road-name-pois I search for the road and then select on the map the desired house number. :-/ Anyway, there are still non enough addresses in OSM to make it really useful... -- Sincerely Hendrik Oesterlin - email [email protected] _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
