Hi! Mark Burton schrieb:
I think it's reasonable to make this option the default and only disable it by request. It should be the common case that one wants pois generated also if they are areas.
Should I make a patch for that?
Personally, I prefer mkgmap to not add stuff to the map unless I ask it to do that. I think it's better to request that something extra gets added rather than requesting that the extra stuff is removed.
+1 I consider a parameter for wholesale POI creation just a workaround. - The automatic placement works only for very simple objects, if a user sets a POI manually, this placement will always be better - The POI creation creates duplicate POIs if there already is a (better) manual POI - A feature with as much impact as this should be controllable in a very detailed way in the style. I can think of many features where I would want it to add POIs and many where I would refrain from it. E.g. I have recently seen a castle with each building detailed as an area. The result was a forest of castle icons there. bye Nop
