[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap:area2poi placement

Wed Apr 6 10:48:49 BST 2022

Hi

I don't see a way to control the placement of the POI for a
multipolygon; it sets it to the centre point of the biggest area.

You could suppress the POI if it isn't within the area by using the
is_in() function, something like:

tag=value & mkgmap:area2poi=true & is_in(tag, value, in_or_on)=true
