Hi,

Thanks for a great program. It is by far the most useful of my
tablet apps except maybe for the browser.

A few of POI related issues/suggestions though:

1. I use VE to plan a trip. You can add POI:s to a collection and
export them to gpx format which is great. When importing the file
I get a message stating that mm is unable to parse xml. When
looking into this I found out that VE generates a metadata section:

<metadata>
<name>Berlin</name>
<desc />
</metadata

When looking into the schema this seems valid. If I remove this
the import succeeds.

2. When importing the poi list, the poi list dialogue did not receive focus
properly making it impossible to select action. After pressing
a hardware key I managed to get focus and continue.

3. The ordering of the pois displayed when browsing escapes me. I would
like to order by distance, often that seems to be the case but
I have seen exceptions to this.

4. I have a very large poi db with some 36000 entries including one
category with some 10000 restaurants. When browsing the larger
categories the performance is very bad. I believe this might be
caused by mm displaying *all* entries in the category. I suggest
a possibility to specify the maximum no of entrys
to display, this would likely improve performance and often you
are not interested in the information anyway.

I'm not a c programmer and have not done any development on maemo
so it is difficult to implement this myself. I can however provide
the large poi database and volonteer to do testing if it would
be helpful.

by the way I'm using the latest version of mm (2.4.1? Dont have the
tablet at the moment) on a n810.

thanks

Mikael
