[mkgmap-dev] No POI in gmapsupp

Fri Nov 21 21:47:03 GMT 2014

I build all maps of my web site [1] using the same parameters for mkgmap 
(apart from name, FID, etc.). Most of them work fine, but those of full 
USA or single USA states have no POI's when installed on device, with no 
difference if I use mkgmap generated gmapsupp or MapSource generated. On 
MapSource/BaseCamp POI search works as expected.

I use the following general mkgmap call:
java -Xmx2800m -ea -Dlog.config=logging.properties -jar mkgmap.jar 
--output-dir=./tmp --bounds=bounds.zip --precomp-sea=sea.zip --max-jobs 
--route --latin1 --code-page=1252 \
--country-name=$PAIS --country-abbr=$ABR --area-name=$MAPA 
--family-name="OpenStreetMap $MAPA" --family-id=1$FID --product-id=1 
--series-name="OSM-$MAPA" \
--overview-mapname=$ABR-1$FID --overview-mapnumber=551${FID}000 
--name-tag-list=$NAMETAG --index $RNP --process-destination 
--process-exits --housenumbers \
--remove-short-arcs=0 --reduce-point-density=4 
--reduce-point-density-polygon=8 --polygon-size-limits="24:12, 18:10, 
16:0" --add-pois-to-areas --adjust-turn-headings --report-similar-arcs 
--report-dead-ends=2 --link-pois-to-ways \
--location-autofill=is_in,nearest --drive-on-$DRIVEON 
--check-roundabouts --check-roundabout-flares 
--license-file=license_ODbL.txt \
--copyright-message="OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. See: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright" --style=mio --check-styles -c 
$pais.args
Which becomes as follows for USA with the variables assigned:
java -Xmx2800m -ea -Dlog.config=logging.properties -jar mkgmap.jar 
--output-dir=./tmp --bounds=bounds.zip --precomp-sea=sea.zip --max-jobs 
--route --latin1 --code-page=1252 --country-name=USA --country-abbr=USA 
--area-name=USA --family-name="OpenStreetMap USA" --family-id=148 
--product-id=1 --series-name="OSM-USA" --overview-mapname=USA-148 
--overview-mapnumber=55148000 --name-tag-list=name --index 
--process-destination --process-exits --housenumbers 
--remove-short-arcs=0 --reduce-point-density=4 
--reduce-point-density-polygon=8 --polygon-size-limits="24:12, 18:10, 
16:0" --add-pois-to-areas --adjust-turn-headings --report-similar-arcs 
--report-dead-ends=2 --link-pois-to-ways 
--location-autofill=is_in,nearest --drive-on-right --check-roundabouts 
--check-roundabout-flares --license-file=license_ODbL.txt 
--copyright-message="OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. See: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright" --style=mio --check-styles -c 
usa.args

Any idea what can make the difference with USA maps?
