[mkgmap-dev] Is it possible with --add-poi-to-lines option and style rules to create pois only for ways with a min/max/equal length?

Hi Gert,

as you found out yourself it does not work with current mkgmap releases.

Instead you might use the additional tag mkgmap:line2poitype to reduce 
the poi clutter.
Example in the points file:
mgkmap:line2poitype!=mid { set mkgmap:line2poi=false }

This sets the mkgmap:line2poi tag to false for all points that are not 
the mid point of a line.
