Hi! With recent discussions and versions I have lost track of what "add-pois-to-areas" currently does. In the last map I built with 1141 I noted that add-pois-to-areas was working a little bit to eagerly. I noted a small tree icon on many (every?) wood polygon. This of course is rather useles

Mapsource routing is very different from the routing on the device. I use only a Vista Hcx and it can route most of the times across multiple tiles. Mapsource typically gives up on more than 3 tiles. have built a test with only some motorways and primary where only 2-3 routes are possible. Bu
