Should pubs turn up in the "Food and Drink" section of my eTrex's search menu? I get a nice icon, but no searchability - and I find that pubs are often destinations (because it's a common meeting place, not just^W because I'm a secret alcoholic!) I've tried looking in "All POIs", too, and there are none there.
Hi Toby,
Should pubs turn up in the "Food and Drink" section of my eTrex's search menu? I get a nice icon, but no searchability - and I find that pubs are often destinations (because it's a common meeting place, not just^W because I'm a secret alcoholic!)

I noticed that too, I think the garmin is censoring the data because it doesn't approve (probably a secret government directive!) Cheers (or not, in this case) Mark

... and I thought that it was just me. I changed the mapping from: point|amenity|pub|0x46|0x00|20 to: point|amenity|pub|0x2a|0x11|20 (which is "British Restaurant") in map_features.csv to get a unique category for them under "food and drink". This is with an old version of mkgmap though; there's probably a different (easier) way with the current version.

I find with the following definition from the default style file, that Pubs show up under Entertainment, subcategory "Bar/Nightclub": amenity=pub [0x4600 resolution 20] That's a rather American understanding of pub, I'm afraid. ;-) Cheers!

The icon for those is the same as for 0x4600, so perhaps I should use 0x2d02 for pubs?

A quick test with amenity=pub [0x2d02] appears to solve this - is there any reason not to do so permanently?

I just noticed this discrepancy myself: the Pubs marked as 0x4600 appear under Bar/Nightclub in Mapsource, but not in my eTrex. It looks like 0x2d02 is a better choice, as Pubs and Biergarten both show up in the eTrex. I have adjusted my style file accordingly.
I am using 0x2A11 for pubs, when I am looking for an establishment tagged as a pub, I am going out for a meal, not looking for a nightclub, so I prefer to look pubs under dining, rather than, entertainment. --Mike On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 8:27 PM, Clinton Gladstone <clinton.gladstone@googlemail.com> wrote:
