Thread: Intersection Search Custom Map

I did figure this problem out. GPSMapeEdit and cGPSMapper can implement Intersection Search. But ddabcd277 is correct, it is tedious.

For future intrepid map authors what I neglected was defining which country, region, and city for each object. In the Polish Notation add definitions like this:
[Countries]
Country1=United States
[END-Countries]

[Regions]
Region1=Washington
CountryIdx1=1
[END-Regions]

[Cities]
City1=Seattle
RegionIdx1=1
City2=Bellevue
RegionIdx2=1
City3=Everett
RegionIdx3=1
[END-Cities]

And then assign each road to one of the defined cities using:
CityIdx=2
In the Polish Notation. The GPSMapEdit GUI can assign objects (like roads) to cities - IF they have been predefined. But, the sheer volume of changes makes this tedious. A good Text Editor helps. And then GPSMapEdit can be used for the exceptions.

Once I assigned a CityIdx to each road - then Intersection Search work both in MapSource and in my Garmin Nuvi.

This is easy with GPSmapedit too. You can assign Postal Adress Information for searching the intersection of POI in GPSr

First you have to enter information about country, Province and City in gpsmapedit using toolbar Tools->Edit Postal Address Items.. When popup window opens , enter the country,province and city information. Then go to toolbar Edit->Select->By type..

Popup window opens and Select poly-line category which you want assign City Index. Click OK and all poly-line of selected category are selected in main Window. Now right click on selected poly line and in pop up menu click on Modify ->Postal Address-> City.
You are done. All selected objects either poly-line are POI have city index for searching in Garmin units.
