[gps-talkusers] Re: How to record User POIs with additional information

the private ones would be good, wouldn't want just anyone finding my
house. *grin* Cool idea. I'd go for it.

Now your thinking Dave!

This is something that I have been mulling around in my head for a while
now.  Having User Private POI's and User Public POI's.  With sub
categories which you will see in a future release (wink wink) we should
have the ability to create your own private pois and public user pois
which you intend to share with others.

It just keeps getting better and better!  Keep those suggestions coming!

Charles, thanks for the help.  So, the way I understand it, if, for
example, I create a POI called home, which no one else would care to
have entered on their user POI list, and then I mark a more public site
such as an airport or series of buss stops, before I send that POI list
to Sendero I have to delete my home POI, then recreate it after I send
the new user POIs to Sendero?
 
If that's the case, I'm wondering if it would be possible to create a
personal POI section for those POIs that people wish to create but do
not wish to share in future releases?  Alternatively, would it be
possible to place new POIs in already existing categories?

Hello GPSers



I got a question from one of our users and thought I should share this
with the rest of you incase you didn't know this little bit of
information.



A user.poi can contain what every you want in it, E.g. name of the POI,
the street address / phone number, other important information you don't
want to forget.



When entering in your user poi data all you have to do is add a comma
after the name you want the poi to be called and then add any additional
information you want (ie. street address phone #, etc.)  This
information after the comma will only show up when you do a chord or
ctrl P.  In the commercial POI's this data is stored with the poi
itself.



Examples of user POI's you record.


StarBucks Coffee, 123 Darnel St.,  523-123-1234, my favorite coffee
house.


John's House, Birthday May 8'th



so when you search for nearest POIs you will hear "StarBucks Coffee", or
"John's House"



Then if you do a chord / Ctrl P you will hear the entire information.


"StarBucks Coffee, 123 Dannell St.,  523-123-1234, my favorite coffee
house."


"John's House, Birthday May 8'th"



Enjoy
