[gps-talkusers] Re: How do I concatinate user.poi files

Doug,

The User.poi files cannot be merged using the block commands.

If you send them to me, we have a utility and we can combine them as a 
Doug.bpi file. I am encouraging all users to send us their files to share 
with others. Please indicate if your files can be added to the monthly 
User.bpi file I will start creating after the release of version 3 and 
making available to all users free of charge as a download or email.

I think you'll find city matches improved in version 3 as well.

Mike
