Bulk Upload of POI's
-
@Dikke-Wim Somewhat less work than the method you describe
What method do you mean? I don't get it.
For me: the easier the better! -
Thanks Martin. It works now much better (see below).

OK - I got it.
You need an out centre (instead of an out geom) to create a single node for ways/areas. This will generate waypoints for both types (nodes and ways) when exporting as GPX.
Here's the result

Sorry for the confusion!
@Martin-Wilcke this is amazing never knew how to use this feature! It would be of great help if the MRA team @Corjan-Meijerink could make a YouTube tutorial on this.

I do not think @Greenham want to harvest POI's but to put his own POI's into MRA in bulk.
I use Excel to make them and then convert to GPX.
MRA only uses the description but If I load them into my Garmin I get the other fields also. I am now busy to find out how to bulk import a GPX into my little housemade tool.
Yes this is what I am trying to do. Add my own POI's

the today status of the tools is the following
-
Import simple POI GPX files into Excel
-
Edit the imported file and add Symbol, Description, Street, Phone etc for import into Garmin devices
