That's a custom patch I include with the version of mkmap that I use.
It doesn't add a POI for areas that don't have a name. I'd be happy to
share the patch if you're interested. I haven't posted it because it's
kind of a hack but it works.

I guess a better solution would be to make it an option to
--add-poi-to-area but, as a bunch of people have pointed out, that
functionality really needs to be reworked. I've thought doing it a
couple of times but sadly I don't have a lot of extra time these days.
I did, however, post a couple of updates to the original patch a while
ago but I'm not sure if those were integrated. (I think anyway, it was
a while ago)

Cheers, Ben
