[mkgmap] index with only one street per country

when I compile a garmin map with the options --index --gmapsupp
I am getting a map where the address index is missing except one street per country.

For Česko the only street in the index is: červená
For Deutschland the only street in the index is: Ürtelacker
For Hrvatska the only street in the index is: Đure Đakovića
For Italia the only street in the index is: Überwasser
For Liechtenstein the only street in the index is: Äussere Wiesen
For Magyarország the only street in the index is: Üsth Gyula utca
For Österreich the only street in the index is: Übungsplatz
For Schweiz the only street in the index is: Ürikerstrasse
For Slovenija the only street in the index is: Čučkova ulica
For Slovensko the only street in the index is: Úžiny

Why do I only get one street per country
and why does this one street always starts with a special character.

What's the error here?

Re: [mkgmap] index with only one street per country

I found the error.
I forgot the option --tdbfile because I did not know that this option is needed to generate the index for the gmapsupp file.
According to the wiki, --tdbfile is only needed for MapSource.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/options
--tdbfile Create a TDB file, which is necessary for installing a set of maps in MapSource.

Re: [mkgmap] index with only one street per country

You may also like to include:

--name-tag-list=int_name,name
--location-autofill=is_in,nearest

and with latest housenumber searches

--x-housenumbers

Re: [mkgmap] index with only one street per country

Hello wilpin,

--name-tag-list=int_name,name
--location-autofill=is_in,nearest
and also
--x-housenumbers

is working fine.

I have included the following style command:
place=*  { name '${name} (${int_name|not-equal:name})' | '${name}' }
which will print the int_name in brackets only if it's different.

A much better aproach would be to replace the name if it is not printable in the selected char set,
but for this function there is no command available.

--tdbfile was not the correct solution for my index problem.
I got a new map now with --tdbfile but without streets again.
So I have to start searching again, how I can solve this.
