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

Hi Folks:

Just in case I'm missing something:  is there a way to categorize one's POI 
entries so that when one performs a search based on category, the USER.POI 
entries are included in the search?

Thanks all over the place gang.

  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
