Hello Joleen,
You can rename your 5.0 user.pdb file to some other file name with
extension pdb and then convert your old 4.22 file to user.pdb having
both pdb files in your maps folder will give you access to the 5.0
pois you added as well as your old 4.22 data.
Eg.
rename user.pdb (ie. the file you created from within 5.0) to
something like joleen.pdb or original.pdb, or outoftown.pdb and then
convert your 4.22 user.poi to user.pdb and copy that to your maps
folder you will then have access to both sets of POIs.
Now using the User poi editor will only bring up the user.pdb pois,
but if you search for a poi in joleen.pdb and go into the poi details
you can edit these pois as well.
Hope this helps
Charles.

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
