When using HTML tags on this forum for webpage links, it would really help POI Factory's 'Search' option if you would display the URL or a descriptive name instead of 'here' or 'link'.
Searching for here or link really sucks; but searching for http://gpsvisualizer.com/ or GPS Visualizer will produce results.
Thanks.

THanks for your comments an program
The links info is so true.. I dont like to click on links if I dont know where they are takeing me.
Oh yea, BTW RT, Thanks VERY much for your program.. When I create my POI files, the very 1st thing I do now is run your program.. I finds my human errors and dups very easy. I remove the errors now even before I upload them/
I also now feel there is no need to break down my POI files by states now that your program can do it with so much ease..
I would be very glad to test anything you need or just help in anyway that I can to move foward with your great ideas..
Please, Keep up the great work!

Thanks for pointing that
Thanks for pointing that out. I am one who has been guilty of simplifying the links thinking it would make it easier for folks but your point is well taken and I will use the actual link as the text portion of the code.

Thanks, bobkz
Thank you, bobkz. Really appreciated. Had well over 600 downloads this morning (since the last update); so looks like most members are using it.
The errors on the POIs are near non-existent compared to what it was just a few months ago. Also, I assume the number of POIs have increased as the number of members increase; so, factoring that in, you all have been doing a tremendous job!

good point on aesthetic appearance of the links
But it's not that much of a big deal.
Mouse over the highlight and the url will show in the bottom left of the browser window, in either IE or FireFly, (can't verify other browsers). Use this technique when visiting less aesthetically and technically savvy sites.

If you're referring to a page after it's found, that is true; but first the page has to be found. I was referring to doing a search of POI Factory for a link that I remembered was posted, only to find out it can't be found because the link was 'here' or 'link'.

Good deal
Sorry RT, not sure how I missed the intent on that one. Indeed it would be helpful when one were using the search feature to find the "missing link".
btw my head must have really been in space, FireFox not FireFly.... what was I drinkin'
