Over the last few weeks I spent a lot of time (about 130 hours total) on reworking the whole Points of Interest (POI — all points in the map) framework. I did this because I noticed that some points were not found on the newer garmin devices like before.
For some it might be known, but most will not know that Garmin uses a rather complicated system to determine what point can be found at which place on the GPS/Mapsource and also determine the maximum resolution at which it is shown. This system is based on a rather random system of FFFFF points. Only a few of those are however usable and searchable. Hence it took me a long time to tryout to analyse and tryout about 2000 (hex) of them to find out which ones have which properties.
Already over the last two weeks I had started to update this system, for this Thursday's updates the rework is finished. I will write an article today that shows the structure about what you can find via the search function.
Do note that this also depends on other maps. There are some maps like Nop's Reit & Wanderkarte, but […]
