I guess I don't really understand POI. If I am passing a location that I want to record the location, I do a "set mark". How do I turn that into a POI? I haven't had much success with sqlite and POI databases. I think I have properly built a POI table and Category table using a sql statement I found. Do I have to dig into the track file Isaved and find the mark I set so that I can use the information to manually insert a record? That seems like a lot of work.

While we're on the topic of POIs, could someone point me to a simple POI file and tell me how to get it into the database? I got the one that someone posted from Italy told mmapper where the file was (settings->poi) but I don't think I ever did anything to make it get entered into the sqlite table.

If this is covered somewhere in a howto, please point me to it.
