And just remember that if you ever use that option, maps will be 
incompatible (meaning frequent BSOD) on all old Garmin GPS like Vista 
HCx and Co - just like the current poi-adresses option crashes the POI 
search (in comparison to it not being used) and often causes BSODs (for 
me like 0.5 times daily).

Garmin GPS are not suited for POI overload like it is happening with 
such options. It's just a really really dirty hack, to implement 
something that was not intended to be shown. The NT map format does have 
possibilities for such information - problem is that we have absolutely 
no clues about it. So don't expect Garmin will remotely improve here, as 
they already have a format that would be suitable for such information.
