Sorry, can't help with your problem, but can you explain what --ignore-unnamed-areas is? I can't find any reference to it elsewhere.
That's a custom patch I include with the version of mkmap that I use. It doesn't add a POI for areas that don't have a name. I'd be happy to share the patch if you're interested. I haven't posted it because it's kind of a hack but it works.
I guess a better solution would be to make it an option to --add-poi-to-area but, as a bunch of people have pointed out, that functionality really needs to be reworked. I've thought doing it a couple of times but sadly I don't have a lot of extra time these days. I did, however, post a couple of updates to the original patch a while ago but I'm not sure if those were integrated. (I think anyway, it was a while ago)
I thought as much. My solution to the same issue has been via the style file: i.e. leisure=park & name=* [0xbla resolution bla] This means that a POI is only created when the area has a name (that can be used in a POI search) Like Marko, I would much much prefer an add_poi style action than the univeral --add-pois-to-areas. And finally, and apologies for bleating on about this, I would love it if the POI that was added was *always* placed inside the area bounds, rather than in the area's "centre-of-mass" as currently happens. -- Charlie
