I have noticed that there is a new category called "Oldham Schools". Would it be possible for this to be integrated into the existing "Schools" category please?
This would help to tidy up the database and it is one less item that I need to edit after downloading to my TomTom.
In general, the less sub categories that there are, the easier it is to use.

Makes sense to me.

Two other categories that could do with condensing are "Accommodation" and "Fuel". There are a few categories that only contain only one or two POI e.g. Broadlands and Statoil, which are both fuel categories.
Each category selected as a combined download, is one more towards the 20 category limit.
As our friends at that supermarket say, "Every Little Helps"

Tom, what device are you using a 720 should be capable of accepting upto at least 169 custom POI categories, this limit might be higher as some devices from TomTom will behave with 255 categories installed but that might be the x40/ x50 devices not 100% sure - Mike |

Hi Mike, I mean the 20 Category limit on downloads from the PGSPW site. If you try to download more than 20 categories as a combined download, it will fail.
| Quote: | | 3. Please Note: The option to combine categories is limited to a maximum of 20. Attempts to combine more than 20 will fail. If you need to do so, please download in batches of 20 categories and merge using a utility such as POI Edit. |
I have used POIEdit a couple of times, but It does not come easily to me for some reason, so if PGPSW can make it easier for me to use (i.e. without reverting to POIEdit) then I will have a stress free (almost) life.
