I found your message in the archive but that is not what I want. I want 
a generated POI.

I have this in my points file:
addr:housenumber=* {name '${name} (${addr:street} ${addr:housenumber} 
${addr:postcode} ${addr:city})' | '${addr:street} ${addr:housenumber} 
${addr:postcode} ${addr:city}'} [0x7100 resolution 24]

That generates small squares with the address info when clicked on. But 
when a building has an address, just "Punkt" that is the default name is 
shown at the generated POI.
Now I found out that the same behaviour occurs when a POI has just a 
housenumber but no street, etc.
So either my line above is wrong or I need some additionalinfo in the 
points file.

How can my generated POIs (from polygons) get the address info?

TIA,
Dani
