Joining POI Conflicting

If I wanted to join two petrol station POI files from difrent sites to get one POI file using POI Converter, what happens with the petrol stations that are in the POI files from the diffrent sources?

I don't fully understand the question.

If you have 2 files, A and B, and Open 'A' then Open Append 'B' you can save the joined file as another name, 'AB'.

This will give you 3 files. The original (A and B), and the new AB, which will contain the combined data from the original files.

If they have identical lat/long they would show 1 icon on the screen.

If you wanted to Navigate to it, you would find 2 entries in the POI list.

If you wanted to remove the duplicates, Oldie has a program called POIManager, http://rjdavies.users.btopenworld.com/html/poimanager.html which will seek out any duplication.
