Here am I taking nodes and making them areas - thus removing the node.
I think mkgmap needs some improvement to get relevant areas into POI ... if
that is a problem.
I'd put money on a mkgmap 'expert' tell us that it is not a mkgmap problem as
it can be done.

Hi,
Another “me too” as I have almost exclusively used OSM mapping in my Garmin GPS
for a few years now. It’s highlighted all sorts of things, missing turn
restrictions, wrong speed limits (not visible but affects routing), street
names etc. Even works overseas, although I’ve mainly used it as a pedestrian,
rather than driving.
I’ve added a lot of car parks at places I visit at well. I need to add a lot
more addresses too.
There are however some mkgmap peculiarities and the maps that most people
package up tend not to have their mkgmap configuration published and this may
produces strange results in an Australian context. Some recipes tend to make a
point for each area on the Garmin, so you definitely don’t want a node and an
area for a single POI as you can end up with three entries. The mapping from
OSM to Garmin for POI category seems also a bit variable and often not what is
expected. The other weirdness is due to OSM having unlimited precision and
Garmin having a max resolution of a few metres, so I might have removed a few
extraneous nodes here and there :), but I try real hard not to “map for the
renderer”

Currently Melbourne Airport appears in the database twice, once as a

Garmin GPS units have always been a favourite with OSM mappers, as well
as the general public who don't want to pay exorbitant prices for map
updates.
I regularly update and use an OSM base map on my Garmin car GPS. It's
great for finding routing errors in the underlying OSM data.
