vector rendering does not show any place/streetnames on some areas of Finland #65

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Setup:

sudo apt-get install monav
mkdir ~/.monav
cd ~/.monav
wget iki.fi/lindi/monav/Finland.zip
unzip Finland.zip
monav
select ~/.monav as the data directory
click finland
click load

2. Follow what I do in 
http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/screencast/monav-screetnames1.ogv

What is the expected output?

vector rendering shows at least some street or place names around the Myyrmäki 
region.

What do you see instead?

vector rendering does not show any street or place names around Myyrmäki. The 
user is completely lost :-)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

monav 0.3-4 on amd64 from debian unstable.

I understand that it is difficult to layout streetnames. If you implement 
support for global street name search it makes the problem less severe. Would 
it also be possible to have a mode where monav shows the name of a street when 
I click it? This would allow you to use larger font in a tooltip perhaps?

Have you checked whether OpenStreetMap contains place names for this part if 
Finland? If yes, was it already in there when the data set was created?

About street names: Yes, we are missing them now. James is thinking about / 
working on it, but there can be quite a while between his updates. As you said 
its hard to get it right, especially when you render them onto tiles and in 
real-time.

Selecting a street and showing a name is definitely an option and would already 
be supported by the existing plugins, i.e. only require a change in the UI.

It surely does contain place names for Myyrmäki, it is quite a large place.

The database I use is http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/monav/Finland.zip which was 
downloaded this week if you want to check.

Lassila
=======

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=60.231641&lon=24.87617&zoom=18&layers=M

name=Lassila
name:sv=Lassila
place=suburb

=> shown by monav

Martinlaakso
============

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=60.280518&lon=24.845837&zoom=18&layers=M

name=Martinlaakso
name:sv=Mårtensdal
place=suburb

=> not shown by monav

Why does monav show Lassila but does not show Martinlaakso?

Because Martinlaakso is classified as a suburb only. Monav ignores suburbs, 
since the user usually specifies the city it belongs to.

But Lassila is also marked just as a suburb too? Why is that name shown on the 
map?
