I installed California in MapSource and searched for a few streets and every one of them worked well. Can you provide a streetname and cityname so that I can try to replicate the problem?

But unfortunately address search is still very problematic. On some older devices things work a bit better then the newer (e.g. Nuvi's) but still not perfect. Improving this has been a slow process and there is not much I can do about that.

See e.g. Mkgmap wiki page and the Mkgmap mailinglist

The main changes since 1625 are:

Continued improvements in the polygon / relation support
Command line options are now checked.
Lots of bug fixes and improvements.

Major things missing/broken

Routing over several (more than 2) tiles in Mapsource
Address index still not 100% correct (works in Mapsource, in the active tile only on "old-style" GPS like etrex/60CSx/edge, does not work at all on GPS like Nuvi, Oregon)
Overview map for Mapsource empty (a non empty overview map would pan around quicker)

I'm going back to the stable version (r1867) for the next update and it would be nice if you can test if things are any better.

I've recently been using the Canadian maps on my Mac with RoadTrip and a Garmin 60CS. The maps are great, but I've noticed the search is incomplete as well. The wiki for mkgmap mentions a --index option to generate a .mdr file that is related somehow to indexing and searching. Am I missing this file? Is there a way to generate it with the map download from the site?

BTW, thanks for a great site and service.
