Hey,
Renaming it to what and still being able to use the info until you get
the user POI from Mike is confusing. You rename it so you won't get
duplicate POI names when your searching. Its confusing to me to.

Hi, Sarai. What is that item in the explanation file which says you must
remove it from the maps folder and rename it so you won't have
duplications? Why rename it? Why not just delete it? Sorry. I don't
understand. Thanks.

Just copy it, when you unzip the file, its named differently so it won't
replace your file.

Hi, Mike. How do I install a new user poi that I have downloaded from
your site? Do I just copy it over the top of my user.poi file in my maps
folder? What if I have user points in a file already? If I copy the new
one downloaded from your site over the top, I will lose those points. Is
there a way around this?

For those of you who may have a tough time locating the User POI
instructions on our web site, here is a copy. Mike

Collective User Points of Interest

Sendero provides a monthly compilation of all User POI files sent to the
company. This User POI file will be made available by email and/or on
the Sendero web site for version 3 users. The first of these files is
included with the new POIs. Users are encouraged to submit their POIs to
Sendero to be added to the collective user database at the beginning of
each month.

Some recommendations about naming points and sending files:

The first comma in a POI name separates its name from its details. If
possible, provide the POI name, then a comma, then details like phone
number, cross streets or features about the point. Press the A key for
example before recording the POI to see what street it is on and add at
least the street name and city as part of the details. If you have a lot
of details like the bus numbers at a bus stop, use a Period to separate
items. You can always go to the GPS menu and select Edit to rename
points or to delete strictly personal points you may not want to include
in the file you send to us.

Attach the User.poi file from your POI folder to an email addressed to
MikeM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Then, move that file out of your POI folder and
rename it. Do not touch the extension. Just rename the User part of the
filename. Once that file is out of your POI folder, a new file will be
automatically started next time you create a new point. If you dont do
this, you will have duplicate entries once you load the collective User
file we send you. Together, we can enhance location information by
sharing the POI information we create individually.
