Custom vs Built-in POIs display lists differently

Custom POI lists display only one line while the built-in POIs have two lines.
Is there any way to format my CSV files so they will display 2 lines?
It is a pain to have to click the MORE button all the time.
Yes you can...
Create the files using .gpx format.
Use Extra_POI_Editor to create them. much more options
than csv.

Using Extra Poi Editor http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/Extra_POI_Editor make sure under options then prefernces.Look for filter and make sure to put check marks in Enable automatic phone number extraction and Enable automatic state and postcode extraction.

Thanks
Extra-PIO-Editor works great but I found that in order to get the information I wanted to show up on the second line I had to label it as "ADDRESS". If there is another way, I'll use it next time. Thanks for the help.

Did you try the preference settings I listed?Set them before loading file to EPE.

I tried setting the preferences and it eliminated the second line.
By the way, I found a good trick...if you label several fields as "address" they all show up on the second line

Thanks for the tip.Have not tried that before.I prefer the gpx files to elimate the more button.Also to build my alerts in so I can bypass manual mode for poiloader and use express.

csv works too...
you can also have multiple lines within a csv cell using Excel, and that displays properly on your GPS
