Hello Michael,

Some POIs are embedded into the maps themselves and we have extracted these
out of the map and added (RMF) to the name so you know these are RMF pois
(ie. pois that were in the map data itself, which is separate from the
commercial POI data from InfoUSA).  Some of the data is duplicated and some
of it is unique.  We just extract it all from the map and let you decide if
you want the extra data or not.  If you don't want these POIs you can always
just delete or move the RMF pois from your maps folder.

For example in Canada and the USA, these extra RMF POIs are named:
 
2010_poi_canada_rmf.pdb
2010_poi_canada_rmf.rmf
And
2010_poi_USA_rmf.pdb
2010_poi_USA_rmf.rmf

Other countries will have similar files with their country's name in the
file names.  Just remove these files from your maps folder and you will not
receive these POIs.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] a question about pois

I have a question about pois.
Some comercial pois have multiple entries.
For example I travel to Sheffield once a month for the Yourkshire lunch
of the "outsiders" disability organisation and there are two entries for
Sheffield Railway station, both for Sheaf Street, one of the entries has
RMF in brackets next to it.
Is any poi with RMF in brackets an unused entry?
