With my lack of experiences in the beginning of using GPS, , I created
several different user POI files, and now I wish I could conbine them also.
Can the conversion utility someday include a feature like this?  That would
be awesome.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Combining POI Files

Hi All,

I have installed Sendero 5.0 on my mPower QT and have a question 
about POI files.  I did the install while out of town and with 
the encouragement of a friend.  The bad news is that I have saved 
some POI data on version 5.0 before converting the user POI file 
from version 4.22.  How silly of me!

Now I am hoping that there is a way to combine the two user 
files.

My only thought is to convert the old user POI file and manually 
add the new data by putting in the latitude and longitude 
information and adding the additional information.  The thing 
that troubles me is that if I should make an error, the 
out-of-town POI information may be way off and I am not able to 
get back to those places in a timely manner.

I have read that one can copy the information to the clipboard in 
version 5.0.  Is it possible to paste this same information into 
the new database?

Thanks for any suggestions.  There are only a few new ones to 
add, but it seems like a rather daunting task to me at this 
moment.

Thanks,

Joleen
