[mkgmap-dev] difference between addlabel and poi-address

Fri Jan 16 23:24:11 GMT 2015

Hi WanMil,

thanks, so I know now that my device can show address info but no additional 
label info.

I am trying to add specific information to the field that is normaly used 
for address.

Is there any direct way via command or any indirect way via overrulement of 
special fields?

I found one exampe 4.5 on page 29 of the Style rules docu,
but this is only showing how to overrule the postcode parameter.

Hi Walter,

you are right. POIs have address fields that are usually filled by
mkgmap and that is what you see.

Each POI also have 4 label fields but usually only the first label is
shown (but that might also differ between differnent devices).
