<html><head></head><body><div>Gerd,</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for tip, I'll try that out. As for the POIs it is because I have tried to keep file size to a minimum (below 2MB) I have very few entries in my "points" file so the POI list is an assortment of offshore islands and some ponds scattered across a 300km radius. Not very useful. I have remedied this by not having anything except towns, village and cities in the "points" file. I decided ti share my UK map file at sites.google.com.view/etrex10 if anyone's interested.</div><div><br></div><div>Neil.</div><div><span></span></div><div><br></div><div>On Sat, 2023-04-15 at 11:18 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><pre>Hi Neil,</pre><pre><br></pre><pre>ABC is the default value for the country abbreviation.
