Thanks Mike:

This will make editing user pois a lot less labor intensive for us.  And for
clarification, you are saying to use the details feature instead of a comma
as in previous versions.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] categorizing User POIs

If you are going to contribute your User POI files for the collective file,
you should be aware of a new feature in version 4.

When you record a user POI, you are now presented with two additional items.
After you type in the name and press Enter, it says, Details. Add the phone
number or address here if you know them.
Next, you are presented with the sub category. The default is User Private.
You can change this to Bonus, Restaurant or any of the other categories also
available with the commercial points.

The point is actually kept in the User category with the sub category you
choose. Starting with the next POI generation, I will strip out the private
user POIs of any file sent to me for the collective file. If you aren't sure
which category and you want others to benefit from the point, use Bonus when
you choose the sub category.

Mike
