[mkgmap-dev] Is there a mkgmap option to replace Areas with Pois? using -add-pois-to-areas but duplicating NAME

Hi Greg,

my understanding is that you should add a rule in the polygons file to make sure that the  Fast Food polygons are treated special,
e.g. delete the name tag.

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Is there a mkgmap option to replace Areas with Pois? using -add-pois-to-areas but duplicating NAME

I am trying to display Custom Symbols for Fast Food stores:

example
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=20/42.19977/-83.70034

Using -add-pois-to-areas and also using EXTENDED LABELS=NOLABEL, but I can still see a label on my GPS overtop of my Custom Symbol.

Used GPSMapEdit and I can see Polygon 0x08 for the BUILDING and NAME=Burger King. Also see POINT 0x6016 (My Burger King icon) and NAME=Burger King. Since I am using EXTENDED LABELS=NOLABEL, I think I am blocking the NAME on the Point, but the Polygon 0x08 still has a NAME defined and I think I am seeing it on my GPS

Would like to know if there is a different option to REPLACE AREA with POI and then I would not have the original polygon and Point..
