Technically, if you know SQL and have access to sqlite3, you can modify the POI database however you like, so long as the existing tables and columns aren't removed or renamed. You can add a column, but it won't have any effect on Maemo Mapper - that is, Maemo Mapper won't display the new column anywhere.
Ok. Thanks.
I am just learning sqlite3.
You are right it's simplified SQL, or MySQL.
What I mean if to make extension to your POI user interface to let new fields to be inserted into POI record.
What I mean is safety cams POI category,
really special , requiring more attention that standard POI.
I have already e-mailed a developer of speed control applet to your mm
but get no reply.
I would like to write safety cam POI applet to work closely with road speed limits database and running an intelligent proximity warning algorithm.

Please let me know how difficult is to write an applet to be run by your mm.
As I read one need development platform to compile applets for Nokia 770/800.
How much time it takes to to start up ?
Mayby should I use Python to write a script, have it run to access POI.db
and show same extra data in mm window on mm window fresh ?
Just installed Python.
I am looking for a trivia solution, just for testing.
