Hi Felix,
I think this has not yet been mentioned on the mailing-list:
There seems to be some code missing in the road-name-pois. I changed the
ID to several values that if used inside the Points file, would be
findable with the search function. If however I use the same ID for the
-road-name-pois option, then I can only find the roadname via the all
points of interstest, via the category, but not via the subcategory.
For Mapsource this makes no great difference, but on my Vista HCx it
means that if I can't search via subcategory, the maximum distance in
cities is around 10km to find a streetname by using category/find
nearest containing.
If I could go via category/select subcategory/find nearest containing,
the actual distance could be bigger, so the function would be more useful.
On my vista hcx, using Find/geographic points/all categories I can
search the RNP using nearest containing and locate roads more than
50km away.
(Well a real search index which supports searching for name and city and
not just name would be much much better, so I don't know if anyone of
you is interested in bugcoding this).
The road name search (find/addresses) found the same road ( 50 Km
away) as well.
Cheers,
Mark
