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 At 07:02 AM 5/25/2004, you wrote: >Hi. Is it possible to concatinate user.poi files?
