I agree. Another problem that I see is that mkgmap might create redundant
route restrictions for this example, but that would just blow up the img size.
On the other hand, the link-poi-to-ways code somehow assumes
that a POI is only used in one way, I am not even sure that it really works
well if this is not the case.
