Hi guys, I am a new subscriber of this list, but a long time user of mkgmap, since I usually use it to transform OSM to Garmin img for my Colorado 300 (wich I use, of course, for OSM mapping). Now I am very happy about the new features of mkgmap (routing), but I have a little question about City's POI. In my points configuration file I have the following lines: ... place=city [0x04 level 4] place=hamlet [0x0a level 2] place=locality [0x0b level 1] place=suburb [0x08 level 2] place=town [0x05 level 3] place=village [0x06 level 2] ... (quite similar to the original one, but I use "level" instead of "resolution" and I did some tuning to balance the "weight" of the POIs on the map). I am able to see all the POIs in my map (both on my unit and in Mapsource), but I am not able to search for them in the "City" list (they are also recognized like "generic" POIs), neither in Mapsource nor in my Colorado (the last version of mkgmap I used is the 971). Do I am missing some other configuration parameter? If someone is interested to my map (Trentino Alto Adige in Italy) wich is "biking&hiking-oriented" you can find it at this website: http://www..webalice.it/centocolli5526/GPS/ Thank to everyone wich contribute to this project!

Hi Fabrizio, For the cities to be searchable, you need to use different codes for them as shown in the default points file: place=city [0x0400 resolution 17] place=hamlet [0x1100 resolution 20] place=suburb [0x0a00 resolution 20] place=town [0x0800 resolution 18] place=village [0x0b00 resolution 20] place=island [0x650c resolution 20] Obviously, you can change the resolution/level to suit but the codes all need to be the 16 bit version rather than the 8 bit version you are using. Cheers, Mark
