When pois are added to areas for search reasons, is there any way of identifying them in the 'points' style file, to avoid them appearing on the map?

They have the extra tag: mkgmap:area2poi=true so you can match on that to remove the ones you don't want. ..Steve

Thanks, Steve. This does the job. Getting it to disappear from the map but stay in the index made me think a bit - I have given it an icon consisting of one transparent pixel. It still pops up on mouseover in MapSource, but that is no problem. I would like to completely remove such pois which have no proper name (and appear on mouseover in MapSource as 'woodland' or 'lake' or even 'unknown'). Is there a way to do this? (Alternatively, how about a variant of add-pois-to-areas which only adds to areas which have a proper name, and so are useful as index entries?) Roger On 20/03/2013 23:03, Steve Ratcliffe wrote:

of course, add mkgmap:area2poi=true & name!=* {delete tourism; delete amenity; delete cuisine; delete .... (all other keys )) as first line in your points file (or maybe after cites). On 21.03.2013 14:24, Roger Calvert wrote:
