The attached patch will prevent writing the additional POI information (address, phone number) if

- there is no street given for that POI

  
This reduces the size of the map by about 5% for my map (with a lot of POIs actually generated in the range 0x64xx to 0x66xx). It may be questionable to write no address information if there is no street given. IMHO though, what I want to have from that additional information is the street address. I can see on the map in which city and region the POI is in and in most cases I can also see the distance to my current location. So if I don't have at least a street name the information about the city and region alone (which is most likely autogenerated and therefore error-prone anyway) doesn't help. For my maps the additional size reduction of this is less than 1 % (which I don't understand BTW, should be more). I'm not sure about the ID range 0x64xx to 0x66xx - has anybody tested this and knows whether there are additional IDs that won't have their information shown? Regards Thilo
Actually it is much more. 0x4100 and bigger show no contact Information (this of course also includes all 0x1???? ) - Or has someone found any POI above 0x4099 show any kind of contact information????
We would also need to exclude all cities (0x0*) to 0x1199 do not show any contact information (I'm not sure whether 0x13?? to ox1f?? do show contact information - as I never used any POI inside this range). I don't know how to adapt your patch to ONLY put contact information for 0x1300 - 0x4099 - but that is what we essentially need (maybe it is even 0x2000 - 0x4099). Plus we need to exclude 0x0???? (e.g. 0x01709)

As a second patch I think we would really need an option to switch of the "fix my address" nonsense. It only takes up space. So either replace that text by a simple dot "." or get rid of adding contact info alltogether if there is no address/or other info we want to put once we have several keys that are added!
