[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH] Restaurant+hotel not appearing in nuvi

Thu Apr 2 07:22:20 BST 2009

Hi,

I can provide a patch to mkgmap for this problem. I just forgot to 
publish it but remembered when I saw your topic. I called it multi tag 
patch. It just duplicates POIs for points that match more then one rule. 
It also should work with tags like this: amenity=fuel;post_office.
Tested with my nuvi 360. Please let me know if it works for you. To 
apply the patch us the following commands:

cd mkgmap
patch -p 0 < /tmp/mkgamp-multitags-R988.patch

Thanks
Berni.
