Hi, I've downloaded and installed Navit svn 5392 today. I've also downloaded a fresh map of UK today from planet extractor. I've typed "Liverpool" in the search box - and I still get two "Liverpool". One on its own, one with a small line underneath it reading "England, Liverpool"
The first one (Liverpool on its own) doesn't seem to contain any useful streets as far as I can work out. The second one (with "Liverpool, England" underneath) seems to have the useful stuff. Same for "Manchester" and "West Kirby" - if you need other examples to test on. As a side note - the map I downloaded for UK (using the presets at map extractor) is 419MB - while the one I downloaded using the same method on 5 Feb 2013 is 436MB. Has the format changed at Navit's end - which results in a smaller map - or would there be something going on at OSM's end? Every time in the past I would download a fresh version of a map it would normally be larger than the older version.
