I noticed that when I press on a location on the map and choose Location->Add POI, it allows me to enter a POI name, category, and comment. This put a purple square on the screen. I can select that purple square and edit the contents.

After I shut down mmapper, I can use xterm to go to the poi file that was modified. It contains a mixture of gibberish and text that represents what I put in for each location. The text is in the form of SQL statements. However, when I enter at the xterm prompt "sqlite3", it doesn't launch and when I do 'which sqlite3', I don't get anything. When I re-launch mmapper, all of my POI's are there. How does it do that without sqlite3? Is mmapper simply interpreting the sql statements and no sqlite3 db engine is involved? If that's the case, I guess I only need sqlite3 to manually work with the database.

Can anyone verify that this is how it works?
