[mkgmap-dev] Garmin eTrex10 Map - POIs

Sat Apr 15 12:18:55 BST 2023

Hi Neil,

ABC is the default value for the country abbreviation. You can use option --country-abbr
to change the default, see https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/doc/options for details, there are a lot more options
similar to this.

I have no idea why you want to get rid of the generated lists, and I don't know if that's possible on the device.

Gerd

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Garmin eTrex10 Map - POIs

Hi,

I am new to mapping and Garmin, so bear with me if I ask stupid questions!

I have made a UK map from OSM data for my new eTrex10 which I am happy with - one level at resolution 18 with a pared down styling giving me a file of 1.7MB.
What puzzles me is the eTrex10 has a "Where To?" page showing  "Cities" and "All POIs" (among others) which have 50 entries each:

"Cities" has a list of local towns and villages in distance order and all suffixed with ", ABC".
"All POIs"  is likewise distance sorted, an assortment of mostly small islets & islands, water features, which probably relate to my very reduced set of map features.

It looks like the eTrex10 is producing these lists itself.

Two questions:

1) Why do the towns have "ABC" suffixed?

2) Can I get rid of the map-derived POI list? I have tried using "--poi-excl-index=0x0100-0x0b00,0x650c,0x6603,0x1f00,0x3000-0x5f00" without success.

I ask here because I suppose I won't get much help from Garmin - having replaced their built-in map!

Neil.
