More Descriptive POI Comments (Column D of CSV Files)

 

GPS is limited on what it can display. Current format from Red Light Camera POI:

GA Roswell poi-factory May07 08

This would be more meaningful if Column D was:
GA Roswell 5-7-08 Alpharetta + Mansell
which is displayed as:
GA Roswell 5-7-08
Alpharetta + Mansell

The above provides the intersection with the red light when you Edit the POI to view the comment.

The date isn't that important but it is nice to keep the State and City on first line and Intersection on the next line.

Also, it would be nice if the CSV files downloaded were sorted by Column D instead of Column C so that all the POI's in a given location were together.

From my experience, you can put data in additional columns which is then ignored by the POI Loader Utility.

You can open the CSV file in a spreadsheet application like Excel and sort it any way your lil' heart desires. The GPS won't care.
