Since you seem to be on a roll, I noticed another thing the other day, when I was searching for pubs near my current location from within Poor Maps. No pubs were returned in the results despite there being several nearby, but there were a few public transport platforms in there for some reason...not sure if poor maps is requesting the wrong POI type, or if it's a server side thing? The map package was the one I created using the script as we discussed previously in this thread.
Thanks!

Its surely not Poor Maps issue. The problem could be either the wrong POI type or absence of the pubs nearby.

To see the available types, use the URL given https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-...able-poi-types . For that, start the server and visit

http://localhost:8553/v1/poi_types

in the browser. [There is no better way right now]. When you look for nearby POIs, you are searching for objects which are within the given distance (with some precision) and are of the corresponding type. The type comparison is done by lowercasing the type you enter and assuming that you entered a substring of a type.

If the type was correct and pubs are still missing, try to do the same search in Poor Maps using some other search provider. You could also go to http://www.openstreetmap.org and see if you can find the pubs over there. Try to figure out what type they are and see if you could find them.

Let me know. If something is wrong and you see all these pubs in OSM, we would debug it further. Then I would need an example of a missing pub
