I have two questions for you:

- first: how could I manage to download and install the POI patch? I download it but the donwload manager does not give a savename because the file has no extension. Give one as I like, adding .armel.deb at the end, but I'm not able to install. When the file is selected through the application manager and the "Install" window appears, I have a 0 kb dimension, tough it is some 100kbs on the card.
- second: I read somewhere on these threads (I'd bet it was on this one but couldn't find it ) that someone was planning to release a software to automatically download them from the Google Maps page once specified the type. Did I dream about it or is it real? Or do we have to input each POI manually? This is ok for *personal* POIs, but would prefer an automatic procedure for, i.e., restaurants, gasoline, etc.

Last but not least: in a short time I'll receive a Belkin bluetooth GPS with a Sirf II chipset. Is there anyone using something similar? Is it working with Maemo Mapper?

Bye, Omar
