Hi Gerd,
I have been testing the new features, and I have some suggestions for
the sample file:
1) Spellcheck and new prefixes "Alameda"(means promenade) and
"Beco"(means alley):
-# portugese
-prefix1:pt = "Rua", "Avenida", "Travessa"
+# portuguese
+prefix1:pt = "Rua", "Avenida", "Travessa", "Alameda", "Beco"
prefix2:pt = "da ", "do ", "de ", "das ", "dos "
2) Add Brazil to the Portuguese speaking countries:
+lang:BRA = pt
lang:CAN = en, fr
Best regards,
Alexandre

merge the optimize-index branch. This fixes some problems with address search
and adds new options which give control the content of the index. Also,
option split-name-index is no longer temporary.
New options:
--road-name-config=file
This option handles the problem that some countries have road names
which
often start or end with very similar words, e.g. in France the first
word
is very often 'Rue', often followed by a preposition like 'de la' or
'des'.
This leads to rather long road names like 'Rue de la Concorde' where
only
the word 'Concorde' is really interesting. In the USA, you often have
names
like 'West Main Street' where only the word 'Main' is important.
Garmin software has some tricks to handle this problem. It allows to use
special characters in the road labels which mark the beginning and end
of
the important part. In combinarion with option split-name-index
only the words in the important part are indexed.
There are two different visiual effects of this option:
- On the PC, when zooming out, the name 'Rue de la Concorde' is only
rendered as 'Concorde'.
- The index for road names only contains the important part of the name.
You can search for road name Conc to find road names like 'Rue
de la Concorde'.
One problem: Search for 'Rue' will not list 'Rue de la Concorde'
or 'Rue du Moulin'. It may list 'Rueben Brookins Road' if that
is in the map.
Only MapSource shows a corresponding hint.
Another effect is that the index is smaller.
The option specifies the path to a file which gives the details. See
comments in the sample roadNameConfig.txt for further details.
--mdr7-excl
This option allows to specify words which should not be in the road
index.
It was added before option road-name-config and is probably no longer
needed.
Example usage: --x-mdr7-excl="Road, Street, Straße, Weg"
--mdr7-del
Use this option if your style adds strings to the labels of roads which
you
want to see in the map but which should not appear in the result list
of a road name / address search. The list is used like this:
For each road label mkgmap searches the last blank. If one is found, it
checks
if the word after it appears in the given list. If so, the word is
removed
and the search is repeated. The remaining string is used to create the
index.
Example: Assume your style adds surface attributes like 'pav.' or
'unp.' to a road
label. You can use --mdr7-del="pav.,unp." to remove these apendixes
from the index.
--poi-excl-index
By default, mkgmap indexes the following POI types with a non-empty
label:
- 0x00 .. 0x0f (cities, sub type 0, type <= 0xf)
- 0x2axx..0x30xx (Food & Drink, Lodging, ...)
- 0x28xx (no category ?)
- 0x64xx .. 0x66xx (attractions)
This option allows to exclude POI types from the index.
The exclueded types are not indexed, but may still be searchable on a
device
as some devices seem to ignore most of the index, e.g. an Oregon 600
with
firmware 5.00 only seems to use it for city search.
If you device finds a POI name like 'Planet' when you search for 'Net'
it doesn't use the index because the index created by mkgmap cannot
help for
that search.
So, this option may help when you care about the size of the index or
the
memory that is needed to calculate it.
The option expects a comma separated list of types or type ranges. A
range is
given with from-type-to-type, e.g. 0x6400-0x6405. First and last type
are both
excluded.A range can span multiple types, e.g. 0x6400-0x661f.
Examples for usage:
- Assume your style adds a POI with type 0x2800 for each
addr:housenumber.
It is not useful to index those numbers, so you can use
--poi-excl-index=0x2800
to exclude this.
- For the mentioned Oregon you may use --poi-excl-index=0x2a00-0x661f
to reduce the index size.
