When I search for All POIs on my Garmin Montana I get many useless unnamed POIs, even power poles, barriers, houses, etc. Is there some way to tell mkgmap to exclude such POIs from its search results? -- Dave Swarthout Homer, Alaska Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Blog at http://dswarthout.blogspot.com
would not you be wise to construct your own style / poi file , then thoes pois you do not need are not added to your map ? Stephen On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 10:16 AM, Dave Swarthout <daveswarthout@gmail.com> wrote:

I've tried without success to have the unnamed POI's show their OSM id. This would make it easier to assign names where I know them. Unfortunately, I have not had any success in creating a rule to do this. Any ideas on how to do this? On Mon, Aug 24, 2015 at 8:34 PM Steve Sgalowski <steve.sgalowski@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Dave, when you search for all POIs, then GPS look for all POI that are near your current position. It doesn't use index for that kind of search, so you can't exclude POIs selectively. You would have to remove them form map. You can try to search for a category of POIs or search by name to get only a selection of POIs. -- Best regards, Andrzej
Yes, I already knew that, but thanks. I thought there might be a way to be more restrictive but I now think it's just that the All POIs search is just what it says it is: it displays *ALL* POIs. It's doing exactly what I told it to do. I sometimes use that option when I'm on a trip somewhere and looking for a POI and don't know which category to pick at the top level search. Having a list of nearby POIs often helps but one has to scroll through a lot of extra stuff to find anything useful. That's what I was trying to avoid and that's why I asked the question. I'm resolved now. Thanks to all. On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 4:28 PM, Andrzej Popowski <popej@poczta.onet.pl> wrote:

It is not, or more precise: it depends on your firmware. I have one device, which is only showing POIs which are part of the index. So here you can suppress POIs, if you don't put them in the index. But I have also two newer devices, which seem to ignore the index completly and always search for POIs in the image. Here you cannot suppress any POIs. And even worse, this is of course much slower :( Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk, Senior Architect SLES & Common Code Base SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg)
