Just wondering if we can have multiple icons in one POI file like so

I've checked the source and don't think so...

Thanks for checking.How about the ability to load more than POI file at the same time.

Basically I want to show for example, gas stations and restaurants on the same map at the same time.

Do you have to have different POI files for each map?
or can you just make one huge POI text file for all maps ?

Different file....
Looking up a huge file will be too time-consuming

I'm checking the source: as is, I think it can't be done must be reprogramed to aceppt more than 1 POI at the same time... (I'm still learning PSPSDK...)

Yes, you can make a bigger POI file including everything u want but, this way, you lose the icon's for each kind of POI...

My speed camera POI has over 3000 points and it loads just fine. I'll be trying out a 11000 later today. I have a feeling it will load just fine if the map covers only a small area and therefor only a few markers appear, but I have no idea what would happen if the map area was large and it tried to load all 11000 markers at once. Maybe we need some clustering code so that it only loads the POI when we we reach the max zooming in level

WOW..
the mypoi maker is the best thing i seen for making POi's.
I think at least..
Really cool.
It's incredible how fast this evolves..

Just done a test and the 11,000 POI file loads fine beacuse I see you already have code to tell the user to zoom in if too many markers will be shown

Hi, anybody having the same problem as me, just used the windows map download tool to grab a map of my area. Choose a fairly big area and the map ended up as roughly 31500 tiles. Everything downloaded all right and the map is complete but it just wont fit on my (empty) 1gb MS. Veiwing the folder under windows properties tells me it's 87mb's in files and 187mb's on the disk. But when i copy it over to the MS it runs out of space (957mb's free) I've tried zipping the map with no compression but this makes it painfully slow to use. Any other suggestions, other then buy more memory cards that is!
