Sendero is working on such a utility, but really you don't need it,
the system can support multiple user pdb files in your maps folder,
just rename user.pdb to some other pdb file name and bingo you are in
business.
Going out of town? Want all those pois in one file? No problem,
start with a fresh user.pdb file add all your pois then afterwards
rename the user.pdb file to Chicago.pdb. Then go on a trip to
Toronto, add a bunch of new POIs and rename user.pdb to
Toronto.pdb. Now all your pois are in separate pdb files.
Another tip, you can add something specific to a field say the
"Tag's" field so then you can quickly search on that field and find
all POIs you created during your trip to Toronto for easy
editing. Or you don't even have to add anything, just search in the
city field for Chicago and presto all your user POIs you created in
Chicago will be found for easy editing.
Have fun!
Charles.
