Hi Tcker, do you think of something similar to the highway-symbol filter ?
coutry specific information is kept in resources\LocatorConfig.xml . I don't think that this is the right place for this configuration. I think it is more about language than country borders. And yes, there are special cases. I assume we have to make sure that there is at least one word between 0x1e and 0x1f.

Can the prefixes and suffixes be country defined and selected by, say, admin boundary. Is there already a place where mkgmap has country dependent info (like drive-on=)? I used to live on "Avenue Road" - slight care needs to be taken on how it is implemented for these strange cases Ticker On Wed, 2017-04-12 at 10:13 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote: > Hi all, > > recently I learned about this feature which is already partly > implemented in mkgmap, but not easy to use with OSM data. > See > http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2017q2/026602.html > There is at least one visible effect of these 0x1e and 0x1f > characters: When you zoom out MapSource removes the prefix / suffix > part(s) from > the name.
