Placing POI file in multiple catagorys!

 

Hi Everybody:

I was wondering if you can place a created POI in more than one catagory, ie: In both Sports catagory and Outdoor catagory! Thanks for your replies.

Regards,

Norm

Yes, and No, Sort of :-)

As far as I know for the nuvi-
If you save it as a Favorite then yes it can be assigned multiple categories. See- http://www.poi-factory.com/node/30094

If you're talking about the categories under Extras>Custom POIs then no, not really. Definitely not with just one POI, you would have to do it by using the same POI (or file set) info in each file or folder that you're categorizing it by (duplicating the POI or file set). Not a great idea since you'll have two or more poi's on top of each other on the map (but I guess it might work!).

See- http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25721 for general info about categories under Extras.

It's about the Line- If a line can be drawn between the powers granted and the rights retained, it would seem to be the same thing, whether the latter be secured by declaring that they shall not be abridged, or that the former shall not be extended.

agree with JD4x4

but if the idea was to look for a custom category and then navigate to the selected individual poi I think it would work.

has anyone done this?

Dummy Me!!

I did't explain it correctly! When you make a POI file for the POI Factory for all to download, in order to find it, you list it under two different searches ie: Sports-Hunting Fishing or Outdoors! Does that make sense? confused

Ahhh... smile .. something completely different!

Seems like a good idea to me! Don't know how easy it would be for JM and Miss POI, but it would be nice to be able to tag them somehow for multiple interest searches, for sure.

Oddly enough, while I was posting my first reply I was thinking it would be nice to have a keyword or category search of just the FAQs as well. shock
