Commit: r1170: Add --make-poi-index option to enable POI index generation.
Version 1170 was commited by markb on 2009-09-04 23:16:33 +0100 (Fri, 04 Sep 2009) Add --make-poi-index option to enable POI index generation. The POI index, which used to be generated by default, doesn't actually appear to be useful at this time. So now it's only generated if you give this option.
Apologies if this is a stupid question. What is the benefit of creating poi index? for search? On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 6:16 AM, svn commit<svn@mkgmap.org.uk> wrote:

Hi Maning,
Apologies if this is a stupid question. What is the benefit of creating poi index? for search?
That's not a stupid question at all. The POI index sounds like it should help with searching for POIs and maybe it does but, at this time, it appears to make no difference to the search behaviour. If you have evidence that it does, please say. Maybe it plays a part in the global search stuff but as we don't have that yet, I don't think there is a loss in not having the POI index. BTW - please test the 'misc fixes to subdivision area splitting' patch, it would be good to know that it works with your maps OK. Cheers, Mark
