Hi Minko and Gerd, yes you are right, this is a restriction of the Garmin POIs. This spreadsheet was a good tip, I did not know it yet. Unfortunately there is no POI group with text display, not supressing the address info. I have tried it with a trick, using 2 POIs, one with text display and another with address info. The Garmin device is showing a memory full message and the hole map is not shown. So I'm leaving it as it is without any more tries. Just one small clarification about the address field. If I set --poi-address than the address field is filled by mkgmap and I can manipulate the content using the trick with mkgmap:phone. If I set --no-poi-address than the address field is left blank by mkgmap and I also cannot fill it with any command via the style file. I hope I understood this correct. At last I would like to report one optical issue in --poi-address generation: There is a line break between street and postcode, but no line break between city and phone. e.g. Street Nr postcode, city+49 123 4567 It would be much nicer, to display the address field with one more line break. Street Nr postcode, city +49 123 4567 If someone is spending the effort in changing this, maybe a small enhancement could also be done. Would it make sense to add unit (maybe even door, if available) to housenumber? addr:housenumber/addr:unit/addr:door Walter -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: Minko Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2015 5:07 PM To: Development list for mkgmap Subject: Re: [mkgmap-dev] difference between addlabel and poi-address Gerd wrote:
I see that mkgmap fills the address info, and it also seems to write it, but MapSource seems to ignore it. I have no experience with this. Maybe this happens because of the big number of POIs?
Yes, not all pois are capable of showing address data, please check this extensive spreadsheet from Charlie Ferrero: http://www.cferrero.net/maps/downloads/garmin_feature_list.xls His website might be a little out of date but still contains a lot of useful info for garmin map makers: http://www.cferrero.net/maps/maps_index.html _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
