Lambertus, I cannot thank you enough for your effort in making the maps available for Garmin users.

I don't know if this topic has been risen before but I have not been able to find anything about it in this forum. I discovered that searching buildings by their name doesn't work in my Garmin 60CSx. I do not care about the buildings being rendered in my GPS the way they are in OSM view but I think it would be really useful to be able to find them through search. I wouldn't like to clutter the OpenStreetMap for other users by adding nodes (i.e. tourism:attraction) duplicating the building name just to make it searchable in Garmin devices.
Is there any possible solution to this?
Thank you very much.

I may sound weird but I don't know if building names are indexed at all. And if they were then this would be disabled as the buildings are filtered out the OSM data at the moment. I'll ask this on the Mkgmap list.
