just an added thought, since 5.0 has come out,does this mean those of us using mobile geo can no longer download the user poi updates? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles LaPierre" <charles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Judi,Did you use the POI converter to convert your old 4.2 pois or were these POIs you sent to the Sendero collective? If it was a user.poi file you converted and they are still showing up in bonus I will take a look at your file to see what could be going on. Please send me your user.poi file and we will take a look.Thanks Charles.

In 4.2 they came up by category, bank, shop etc, does that mean we have to do all of the pois again?> Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2008 17:16:26 -0700 > To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > From: charles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [gps-talkusers] User Public going to bonus > > Hi Judy > > Yes all the old User collective POIs which the user didn't specify a > category now get thrown into Bonus. > Under 5.0 when a user adds a new POI it is either user Private or you > specify another category and subcategory for the POI, and when you > specify a category or subcategory other than User Private then it is > User Public by default. > > I know its a little confusing.
