POI Library Question
-
If I import a GPX file that has an unknown number of POIs into the "Library"
Points of Interest --> Library --> add
How would I know the names or the number of POIs that were added? Consider each POI was separated by 100's of miles.Also somewhat related. What is the method one can use to add a POI to an existing library file?

@Brett-Bartick ...uhh - as far as I know: if you have imported a file with POIs into the library, you will only see the new name in the library list.
If you activate it, you will see the symbols in the map. If you hoover or click on a symbol, you will see the name of that single POI.
It is not possible to open the imported POI list to see the names of all the POIs – nor their amount of.Nothing is impossible ;-)

So, what you are saying is that if I activate a library for a particular route, I can see the symbols for that library on the route, BUT only if I zoom out to 5 miles (10 km) or zoom in.
Basically, if I have symbols in my library separated by 100's of miles I will never see them or even know they exist. And I have no idea how many symbols or their names are in the library. And, if I know all these things, I can't easily add another POI to the library. From an end-user perspective, this doesn't seem very user friendly. -
A somewhat of a fix (at least for me) would be the addition of an option within the Points of Interest --> Library, so I can actually export the library as a POI (.ov2 or .csv) file. There's the option of exporting a route as a POI, why isn't' there an option to export a POI library as a POI file?
