[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v1] add-pois-to-lines

Thu Oct 27 19:51:28 BST 2011

Hi,

I am very undecided if this option is reasonable or not.

But it's easy to implement so I decided to let you test and decide 
yourself if it makes sense or not.

Attached patch does the trick. I haven't added an option yet so it works 
if add-pois-to-areas is set. For each line all points plus the middle 
point are added as POIs (tagged different with mkgmap:line2poitype).

For lines each POI is tagged additionally with the following tags:
mkgmap:line2poi=true
mkgmap:line2poitype=start|end|inner|mid

Have fun!
