Address include in polygons style file superfluous?
Hi, I have started writing some pages for the new mkgmap documentation about address search. This made me thinking if the address include is required for the polygons style file. Is it possible to see the address information of a polygon in a Garmin map (or better a mkgmap created map)? If the answer is no we could remove the include from the polygons style file which saves some memory and some processing steps. Additionally we could remove the processing of polygons from the LocationHook. The only thing that need to be changed is the -add-pois-to-areas option. The POIs created by this option must be worked out by the LocationHook because the polygons do not contain the address info any more. But I think this would be easy. Any comments? WanMil
Hi WanMil, Sounds good to me. Afaik my Oregon 450t doesn't allow to search for anything like an area. Well, a camping site is an area, but I think one only wants to search fort the reception. Gerd

Are the POI created from polygons not affected? If not, then all good. On 10.03.2013 15:17, WanMil wrote:

I think they are not. If I got this right, mkgmap works like this: First the LocationHook assigns the mkgmap:admin_level* and mkgmap:postcode tags to the polygon (no style is involved for this). Next, the POIGeneratorHook generates a point in the center of each polygon and copies the above tags to that point. Finally, the POI point is processed by the StyledConverter, using the points rules, not the polygon rules.
