[mkgmap-dev] [patch] add support for information=guidepost POI in default style

Tue Sep 8 15:25:46 BST 2015

Hi Gerd,

I've attached a new patch with the previously mentioned change. I've also
changed the other POI using 0x2f0c to 'amenity=toilets & highway=rest_area'
which seems to match the POI type better.

Thanks, Ben
