Tags in use for routing and address search
| tag | affects | initial value | possible values 4) | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mkgmap:country | address search 1) | 3-letter country code, derived from mkgmap:admin_level2 (hard-wired in LocatorConfig.xml). If an object's country code is not defined e.g. in oceans, the values of --country-abbr and --country-name are used, see here | (any text) | List of values |
| mkgmap:region | given by command line parameter --region-name and --region-abbr, or (none) if these are not used | |||
| mkgmap:city | (none) - must be set by rule in style 2)
| |||
| mkgmap:housenumber | address search - advanced 1) | (none) - must be set by rule in style, e. g. created from the addr:* tags | numeric value | |
| mkgmap:street | (any text) | |||
| mkgmap:postal_code | ||||
| mkgmap:phone |
| |||
| mkgmap:admin_level2 | (nothing) | name of the boundary=administrative polygon where the object is located in - depends on option --location-autofill 3) | (any text) | |
| ... | ||||
| mkgmap:admin_level11 | ||||
| mkgmap:unpaved | routing - avoid options | "no" | "yes", "no" | |
| toll | routing - avoid options | "no", if not set explicitly | "yes", "no" | see Key:toll |
| access | routing - general | "yes", if not set explicitly | "yes", "no", "destination", ... (?) | see Key:access |
| oneway | routing - general | "no", if not set explicitly | "yes", "no", "-1" | see Key:oneway |
1) If a node or way should be searchable on the Garmin device, it must contain the three tags mkgmap:country, mkgmap:region, and mkgmap:city (???)
2) These tags are not initialized to a value by default. The corresponding values must be set by the style rules, evaluating the values of admin_level2...admin_level11. Example: Creating a rule in the lines file
mkgmap:country!=* & mkgmap:admin_level2=* { set mkgmap:country='${mkgmap:admin_level2}' }
sets the value of mkgmap:country to the name of the surrounding admin_level2 boundary (which is normally the country), if the tag is not already set
3) The values of the admin_level2 ... admin_level11 tags are initialized by the position of the object. The location information can origin from either boundaries, is_in tags, or from nearest place=* points. The behavior is controlled by the option --location-autofill. See Mkgmap/help/options#Address search options. Note that not all levels are present, depending on the local administration system. Please note that the tags are set according to the position in the data of the boundary files, not within the polygons in the .osm file. It is possible to create the boundaries with mkgmap (option --createboundsfile=...)
4) Although other values are possible and meaningful in OSM data, only these are evaluated by mkgmap and the Garmin device
