Hi Mike,

okay, I tried your patch now with the default style
and a tile containing data in my home area
in Lower Saxony:
63240008: 2453504,378880 to 2473984,407552
#       : 52.646484,8.129883 to 53.085938,8.745117

The index file size is smaller, that's good, but I don't see
a big change in the search results, I still see 
entries like "A 1" or "A 28 Oldenburg" when I
just enter "A". I think they are produced by the --process-exit or
--process-destination options which create these
names without a highway shield.

So, the result is a bit unpredictable, and I don't
see a good reason to omit these roads from the
index. One may want to find the road using the 
ref.

Subject: Re: [mkgmap-dev] option to omit road refs from index:

Hi Gerd, ideally I was looking for a solution  where we had something like 
mkgmap:noindex in the style to cause the label to be omitted from the index. I 
had a look at implementing this but came unstuck because as far as I can tell, 
the code that adds the index creates this from data that it reads back from the 
img file, which of course doesn't contain any mkgmap specific information.

There are a number of cases where mkgmap:noindex would be useful:

In the case where highway shields are used, I would prefer not to include the 
road number in the address index, so that when you type "A" you just get road 
names beginning with A, instead of A1, A11, A135 etc.
I allow (walking) routing along piers, the edges of carparks and other 
non-highways. If these have names, they also get included as road names in the 
address index and I would prefer to omit them.

I came up with the -- omit-highway-refs-from-index code as an alternative that 
achieved something of what I wanted, but if you can suggest a way to do this 
from the style, that would be better.

Regards,
Mike

Hi all,

okay, I'm back from a very nice and ofter very hot cycle trip to Greece now and 
will start to look at the
open issues. 

I did not try the patch yet. If I got that right, the function is mostly useful
with the default style which adds the highway shield + name as a 2nd label,
and it is meant to reduce the index size, right?
My 1st aim would be to find an alternative for these style rules.

@Steve: Do you know how Garmin maps handle this case?

Hi Gerd, please find attached a patch that adds a new option
--omit-highway-refs-from-index, that causes labels containing highway
shields to be omitted from the address index.
Please try and commit if you are happy with it. Note, I am on holiday for
the next week, so if it needs any changes, I will look at it when I get
back.
 
Regards,
Mike

Subject: [mkgmap-dev] Numbering loss in the version which came after the        
r3602

Hi Gerd,
Since yesterday we (a group that compiles maps in Brazil) begin to see some 
loss of numbers in some of our maps.As we had never had this problem before, I 
suspected that the error could have been introduced in some recent version of 
mkgmap. So, I restored some old releases for testing and I found that the 
numbering were generated correctly until release 3602 as seen in the image 
below in the white-box ("390 Rua Porto Alegre"):
Snapshot taken form MapSource of a map compiled wiht mkgmap r3602


Using the same source osm file, the numbering is lost in the street "Rua Porto 
Alegre" (for example), if the map is compiled with any newer release of mkgmap 
than 3602. The snapshot bellow was taken from a map compiled with release 3616::
Snapshot taken form MapSource of a map compiled wiht mkgmap r3616:



These compiled maps img are available for tests at the file sharing 
area:http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/270/03205200_r3602.img
http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/271/03205200_r3616.img

You can search for street "Rua Porto Alegre" to see the problem, but it problem 
can be found in other places too.
My guess is that the problem arose when housenumber2 brahch was merged to trunk.
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thank you.
Regards,
Alexandre
