Question regarding house numbers
Hi! When a house number is mapped in osm as a POI, I can see the house number in my device but when it is mapped in a polygon (e.g.with building=yes) the POI is rendered but I can see just the word "Punkt" as additional information. Should I add something in the polygons file? Thanks a lot in advance, Dani
Hi! Has really nobody a hint for me? The --add-pois-... seems to work here, but no additional data is supplied. Dani

A number of months ago, I sent some information regarding the display of house numbers for building polygons to the mailing list. You should be able to find this in the archives (sorry, I don't have good access right now). If I recall correctly, I changed the name attribute of building=yes items in the polygons file, such that the house number was displayed as part of the name of the polygon. It is also possible to map the polygon to a POI, but this becomes impractical in areas with large numbers of houses. Hope this helps. Cheers.
Hi Clinton!
If I recall correctly, I changed the name attribute of building=yes items in the polygons file, such that the house number was displayed as part of the name of the polygon. It is also possible to map the polygon to a POI, but this becomes impractical in areas with large numbers of houses.
I found your message in the archive but that is not what I want. I want a generated POI. I have this in my points file: addr:housenumber=* {name '${name} (${addr:street} ${addr:housenumber} ${addr:postcode} ${addr:city})' | '${addr:street} ${addr:housenumber} ${addr:postcode} ${addr:city}'} [0x7100 resolution 24] That generates small squares with the address info when clicked on. But when a building has an address, just "Punkt" that is the default name is shown at the generated POI. Now I found out that the same behaviour occurs when a POI has just a housenumber but no street, etc. So either my line above is wrong or I need some additionalinfo in the points file. How can my generated POIs (from polygons) get the address info? TIA, Dani

The problem was to choose a number that gets no address info from Garmin. With 0x3217 it works. The line above seems to copy the address info into the name and this works also for numbers that wont't get address info but it doesn't work for POIs that generated with add-pois-to-areas. There the default name cannot be overwritten, that's why I get the German word "Punkt". Correct me if I am wrong. Dani
Sorry for not replying earlier: I started to answer but then got distracted. What I wanted to write, is exactly what you mentioned in your self-comment: You have to use a POI type which support address data Regarding naming, I will have to check again. I seem to recall that the calculated name from the polygons file gets added to the POI. Try to set the name in the polygons file, and see if that makes a difference. Cheers.
