Hi I can indeed select and show them on the map. When selected from the city list, they appear as little green diamonds. They are selectable on the map (they can be highlighted but there is no description associated). They are routable (I can ask the edge to go there) and then after a route

just a wild guess: if you use --add-pois to-areas, a lot of will cities turn up twice (one genuine poi and one geberated from the poly). maybe this srews up the index. to test it, you could use place=city mkgmap:area2poi!=true in your point file and exclude cities generated by

Hi Firstly, the blank city lines are caused by --add-pois-to-areas. They do appear only when this option is set, so there may be a bug there. However, the freeze of the GPS device only occurs when --index is also used. Without --index, the blank lines are there but there is no slow down when
