Hi Peter, You are correct we rely on the end user at this point to give us the POIs and tell us which country they were recorded in. There is no post processing yet to make sure only USA pois go into the USA user collective file. This is on our wish list but currently this isn't possible. Thanks for the suggestion. Charles M.

I imagine this can happen if somebody from the US submits a file with most POIs in the US but some in other locations, but it raises two questions: Firstly, are those files sorted by location as well as by user? There are POIs in Africa and the middle east in the Europe file, and possibly in the US file too, so, second question: is it a serious load on memory to load all the public user POI files, or would it be better to avoid large ones such as the US one, and risk missing interesting POIs?
