your approach is correct. But I don't know which field are used by the builtin map. So maybe it is not possible to have the same functionality with mkgmap generated maps.
Ok, good to know. Thanks.
Can you please what information/address is displayed if you select a POI on your mkgmap generated map. Is the province name displayed? If not then you should check the log file if mkgmap really finds your bounds directory.
On the mkgmap generated map of Canada, POIs have the city and province name displayed. If the POI has full address information in OSM, then the full address is displayed. I think the bounds are being set correctly. One thing I noticed is that the built-in map of Canada uses the province abbreviation whereas the mkgmap generated map uses the full province name. For instance, the built-in map uses ON for the province while the map generated with mkmap uses Ontario. Could this somehow be causing the problem? In any case, I would like to use the province abbreviations instead of the full province names. Is there a setting that I can use in mkgmap to get this behaviour? Thanks, Ben
