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

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
