How to create "Route only" maps?

General talk
1

Hi, I would like to create routable maps with no poi tags because OSM POI is sometimes noisy.

I tryed --delete-tags-file opition as following,
name=*
name:en=*
name:ja=*
name:ja_kana=*
name:ja_rm=*

and set “points” of style file to blank,
but the result is error.

Someone teach me right way.
Thanks,

I’m using mkgmap.

Which POIs you get or not with mkgmap depends on the style. Use an empty points file, then you will not get any POI.

I already use empty points file.
So I checked args again, then I found that “–index” option with empty “points” file make error.

Finally I could make “Route only” maps.

  1. using empty points file of style (without --index option)

but still remain road name, so set 2.
2. --delete-tags-file

name=*
name:en=*
name:ja=*
name:ja_kana=*
name:ja_rm=*

Thanks,

I use that for different maps without problems. What is the error message?

This particular problem is fixed in the latest version (r2309+)

If it does happen though it means that there are no countries in the index
and so the index would not be that useful anyway. As you have no points file
that is to be expected.
