[mkgmap-dev] Styles, typ and multiple languages

Mon Nov 9 17:06:55 GMT 2020

Hi.
I answers the question, though may not help too much..

How does the --poi-address work?
It states that it enables address / phone information to POIs.
Is this a feature of Garmin devices that only works for exactly address and 
phone.
I think i have seen some maps with opening hours added to POIs.
Can the same idea/pattern be used for anything?

Opentopomap does like this for opening hours and website:
opening_hours=* {set mkgmap:region='${opening_hours|subst:Tu=>Di|subst:We=>Mi|
subst:Th=>Do|subst:Su=>So}' }
website=* {set mkgmap:region='${mkgmap:region}   ${website}'}
etc.

But maybe this breaks other functionality?

Regards
Karl
