[mkgmap-dev] Question regarding house numbers

Wed Jun 2 11:49:18 BST 2010

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.
