We already have this with the --add-pois-to-areas option. It will create a poi for certain polygon areas in osm. I know it works for me, What garmin types get assigned to what key=value pairs is based on the style information in the resources/styles directory. --Mike O.

hello list,
I have a question about mkgmap. Is there a possibility to get the information of an area in OSM converted to a point on garmin? This would be very usefull for example to find Car parks or camp sites or buildings tagged for example with amenity=restaurant etc. in the garmin menue. If such a feature does not exist, would it be possible to implement it with few effort?
The best algorithm would be to take the geometric middle of the polygon and place a point there. The User should be able to customize which garmin type this point gets based on the tags of the polygon. The polygon should also be able to get a polygon type if it was used to create such a point.
Thanks Christoph
