TTN5 and POI's query

[dsinclair999]

Hi,

I'm very confused over this.
I'm running TTN5 from my SD card on a Mio 168, and while trying to figure out how the points of interest work have come across a strange thing!
I have removed all points of interest except one from my GB maps folder, soft booted the Mio and when I go into TTN5 the POI's are still there!!
Does anyone know where this info is kept in addition to the maps folder, cause I can't find nothing else anywhere?

Regards

DS

As I already said, you need to distinguish between POI categories and POI data. While you can remove both the custom categories and the data in them you can only disable the display of the built-in categories, but you cannot delete the data unless you completely remove the POI.DAT file. But even then the (disabled) categories are still there because they are hard coded into the program file.

And no, deleting the POI.DAT file will not increase the number of permitted custom categories.
