Hello all, As I understand it mkgmap uses the is_in tag (if present) to determine the region of a given city. If no is_in tag exists, it uses whatever was defined by --region-abbr in the command line, and if nothing was defined, then it uses nothing. If this is so, then why is --region-abbr i

Is it possible to implement global indexing incrementally? Looking at my mapsource, the "Find Places" has 4 tabs (city, feature, address, intersection). This is disabled when I am using mkgmap generated maps. Maybe we can focus first in creating the city search index first or address search and

I know and I already using the geofabrik sources, but maps which are not splitted with psplitter are not able to route over borders. This was a limitation of mkgmap, that routing is only possible from one to an other country, if the maps are splitted with splitter. Using the geofrbic splitter sourc
