[mkgmap-dev] Creating a point with a full address that can be found

Fri Jun 9 19:15:33 BST 2017

Hi Gerd

Yes, I used this option after you mentioned it. The image file did get
a bit bigger but I couldn't detect any difference in the behavior of my
eTrex. What I was hoping for was to get some particular POI types (esp.
0x1f/County) to show up in Find>"All POI" but this didn't happen when I
changed the range to include it.

It's not important; I'll go back to using Cities for the moment.

Regards
Ticker
