I believe that the differences are related to the change in r2335. That includes a change where if a POI does not have a city, but does have a region, then a city without a name is created with the given region. These cities are not included in the index as seen by mapsource because they don't have a name. The device index is different, and so the device can work out the region from the information in the img file. I might be able to fix the index, so that uses the region of a city that has no name. But I wonder if I am missing something. In the index you can attach a POI to either a city or a region directly with a flag and it makes sense that you could do that in the img file too. I did check when the question came up, because I had a bad feeling about cities with no name, but perhaps I was was looking at street rather than POIs. With maps created before r2335, are the POIs findable on both mapsource and the device or missing on both? ..Steve _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
