Hi, I'm using mkgmap since a while and it works great. Good work and thanks to all of the developer. I know how many time you are investing into it and how many time such a OS project needs to care about. So my question is. I already have seen that some of the map compilers are calling the

Dear Marco, Typ files allow you to customize the look of your map. Think of it as different cartographic design in the main OSM map (mapnik, osmarender, cyclemaps). Many mkgmap users use different typ files depending on the map purpose (road, cycling hiking, etc). A good howto and explanation

Hi Maning, thanks for this. Charlies page is great. I'm already aware of the functionality of a typ file. I just was not sure about the reason why some of the user add the typ file as parameter at the end of mkgmap command. Thanks for your fast help. Marco Am 01.02.2011 09:54, schrieb maning

Hi Charlie, Like Marko, I would much much prefer an add_poi style action than the univeral --add-pois-to-areas. Yeah.  And finally, and apologies for bleating on about this, I would love it if the POI that was added was *always* placed inside the area bounds, rather than in the area's
