[mkgmap-dev] Suppress POI names displayed on device

Tue Mar 23 15:09:01 GMT 2010

Hi,
Is there a way to suppress the names of POIs displayed on the device
screen, without affecting the routing instruction names and the search
entity names.
I thought I remembered a discussion around this, but can only find the
diplay_name discussions that refers to names displayed in routing
instructions.
For instance: I am still dependent on --roadnamepois, because address
search does not work on nuvi200W, but it displays the name of every
street and clutters the map. I would prefer to only see the name as a
tooltip, when hovering / selecting the POI.
Also with POIs with custom symbols, I don't want to see the names, until
asked for;)
I have a feeling this is done in the TYP file but cannot determine how.

(I use TYPViewer to convert TYP to TXT and modify it, and MapSetToolkit
to convert TXT to TYP)
