[mkgmap-dev] Update on missing POI Labels on some devices and some questions...

Tue Dec 10 15:15:04 GMT 2024

Hi Scott

I'd suggest looking at what sort of details and labelling the devices show with
their Garmin map, and then, as Nick/osm at pins suggests, find a tool to extract
and format the TYP subfile and see what it defines.

The chance of mkgmap being reworked to generate the next generation container
format is low. The chance of this providing functionally that will support
addition point types, label formatting changes or feature selection based on
devices is unknown, but, I'd suggest, also very low.
