[mkgmap-dev] Adaptions in style (needed to make good use of) for overview2 branch

I have updated my Benelux map with the latest overview changes:

Overall the results are pretty good, thanks Gerd for the great work implementing it!
There is one issue, I dont see any poi names anymore from zoom resolution 15 and below in Mapsource.
In Basecamp and on the overview map (viewed in gpsmapedit) they are rendered (capital cities and country names).

Can you have a look at this Gerd?
