Question about using all POI.

I'm using the POI from Checkpoint.
Is there anything wrong with activating ALL checks for POI?

I thought that maybe it would effect performance or something??

Thanks.

there's a lot of things wrong with that... your system will become unusable .

The max number of POIs that you can enable is a function of the available RAM, but it's always a good idea to keep the number of custom POIs low and use external programs instead (like the postcode lookup tool)

erm... i didn't know this. Sad

i foolishly added ALL the POI!
now when i start checkpoint...
it fails to load compalining about navigator overlooad with too many poi's.

can someone tell me how i can get rid of the poi's?
(i have tried to get rid of the poi's from the synchronisation option... but that seems to have no effect.)
i assume the poi's must be stored in files somewhere?

help! Sad

They are stored in the map folder, and you can delete the BMP/OV2 file pairs from there.

I have the same problem/ambition is there anyway I could use other memory as ram (apps memory)??

I only got a shared 64 megs. Crying or Very sad

Well, you can try to do some cleanup and move applications from RAM to storage card. That will free up a couple of MB. But eventually you would need a machine with more RAM and a faster processor.

Or - TomTom would need to rethink the way they load custom POIs
