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

Mon Oct 31 20:35:00 GMT 2011

I have modified the patch by the following things:
1. The relation style is now applied before the POIs are added
2. You must now set the add-pois-to-lines option to enable the POI 
generation
3. Some basic help text

Running the relation style earlier is a bit contrary to the mkgmap 
design but it seems to work (I don't know if processing of mp files is 
affected by this?). Anyhow the relation style is a bit different from 
the other style files as no garmin objects are created. So I think I can 
live with it.
@Steve: What do you think? I think you have created big parts of the 
style system and so you should be happy with that change.

I have also uploaded a compiled version of the patch:

Have fun!
