Hi Brett,
an issue with the index on a Garmin device is that it requires specific
codes for specific items. For a comparison of Garmin models and the
use/appearance of codes, see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types - In most
cases, the meaning is the same for different models.
In your command, you use
--style-file=styles\mapnik\ ^
i.e. a relative path to the style, and a final backslash. Are you sure
that the "correct" style was used (e.g. when you inspect your map with
QLandkarte)? I use absolute path, without a final backslash, but that
might be irrelevant.
It is also my impression that Garmin uses all maps (even those which
were switched off) when a POI search is performed - try to remove them
as much as possible (I change the extension from *.IMG to *.IM) - I
haven't tried that with the base map yet...
Regards,
Bernhard

Hi
Time to follow up on this issue from some time back as I have not
found any solutions. It would be good to have the index search
feature refined. Anyway here is it again. Thanks for your
consideration.
I have loaded my latest img made using 2800 of mkgmap and a custom
style along with typ file on to a Garmin Rino 650. This unit has only
ever had the OSM maps that I have created on it. The POI lookup has
been causing me a few issues in the past with my 62S being much better
but that might be due to it having Garmin's own Topo map loaded. I am
at a loss how and what index from what img file my Garmins use.
Anyway, the problem is nothing comes up when I select all POI so I
went into geographical features and then water features to find a
lake. No water features showed up. I then selected land features and
then could find the lake that I was after. It appears that at least
on the Rino 650 the POI index has issues.
It the above a known problem with mkgmap or is their something wrong
with my style and/or typ file? I use the following bat in Windows 7
to create the img.
REM mkgmap command line
