    Default Add several coordinates to one POI

    Hi, I am wondering how to add several coordinates to one POI file. I noticed a blank table on the bottom-right of GMDT POI screen. cant use it.

    straight from the MapThis wiki...
    http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Map_Thi...ing_a_POI_File

    Creating a POI File


    Click on the POI tab

    Local.Live/Google/Yahoo

    1. Enter your search term into the Search for: text box

    2. Navigate the map to your desired area (you can use the Search Maps)

    3. Move the map around a bit

    4. Click "Get Numbers" and make sure Lat/Lon/S text boxes get populated

    5. Click the Local.Live/Google/Yahoo radio button (if Google, choose relevant google.com/.co.uk/etc.)

    6. Click "List" and make sure the datagrid is populated with your POIs

    7. Enter a file name, starting with _, into the Save POI (start with _): text box

    8. Click Save POI (start with _):

    9. The file will be created in the same directory as the application, place it into the corresponding map folder




    when you open the file under notepad/wordpad this is what you shall see, something like this

    !IMAGE:motorway.png,
    49.163909,-123.934510,Departure Bay Ferry,680 Trans Canada Hwy// 250 753 1261,
    49.163389,-123.893050,Duke Point Ferry,400 Duke Point Hwy//250 722 0181,


    now if you have multiple POI files, you can copy and paste the data from one file, into another file .. thereby haveing one POI file with tons of stuff in it

    hope this helps..
