MRA 5.0.1-430 Limit of 1000 POIs

[Con Hennekens]

@Corjan-Meijerink, while I totally understand your desire to limit the amount of POI shown, I typically load a geocaching pocketquery which also has a limit of 1000 geocaches as default POI category. Hence I ALWAYS get this message when starting a route. That's a bit unlucky. Is it really stressful for the app to up the limit to let's say 1250 or 1500? For my specific case even upping to 1001 would suffice

@Con-Hennekens; Another (simple) solution is to limit your pocketquery to 999! I got mine limited at 500. That's more than I can do in a daytime!

[Con Hennekens]

@white.mouse, I know how pocket queries work I don't usually load them for a single day, but to have them at hand whenever I am driving around What I was hoping for, is a little headroom for more than just one POI. Often it is not the only category you want to have enabled. And yeah, my newer phones don't seem to have any problem handling multiple 1000s of POI. But yeah, if nothing can be done about it, I will need to adjust some PQ indeed.

Can you please explain to me in this context what No. 3.) does exactly ...?

• Im Profil anzeigen
• Does that mean the profile will then automatically be displayed in every route?

[Hubert Thoring]

What do I do if I have no control over the number of POIs in a file I download from the web?

For example, road closures... Link to select a POI file

There appear to be more than 1000 points of interest there...

This is displayed in BasCamp! So it's not 1000 POIs, but a mix...

I reduced it to 106 POIs in BaseCamp, but the message in the MRA still appears! ?

@Corjan-Meijerink : Please explain what happens in the background of the app!

1.) What does the message "The POI limit of 1000 has been reached" actually do in the background of the app?

My setup: I've selected two POI files, "Alpine Passes" and "Road Closures." What does the app do with them then?

• Are POIs truncated?
• What is still displayed?
• What is still there and what isn't?

This message is quite confusing for me and I'm sure for many other users as well.

• Is it just a message that indirectly says if you have performance issues with the app on your phone, it's your own fault if you want to see so many POIs?

In the past, I never had the problem that my old iPhone XR, now 7 years old, couldn't process the POIs; there was no performance issue!

As a man of a certain age, I have a POI list of public toilets in the UK. The list has 2260 locations. As I live in the south I have no imediate need to visit loos in the north. I opened the original .csv file in Excel and sorted the two columns that contained the coordinates so that the most southerly was at the top of the list. I then deleted the 1260 that came after the first 1000, saved the new file and uploaded to MRA. Perfect, but I can't go further north than 51.8°

[Hubert Thoring]

I find the limitation, whose function is still unclear, not really successful overall, and a good new idea would have to mature.

Ideas for a solution:

• In the app, POIs file can be switched on / off

• Notes if a POIs file has more than 1000 POIs according to the MRA calculation.

Offer a solution to share a data to be able to use it in MRA... so that @Nick-Carthew can find all the toilets.

@Nick-Carthew 51,8°C???
Btw, I am also of certain age. That's why I always riding in forests, where there are enough trees.

The change between POIs > 1000 and POIs > 1000 in the WebPlaner is only apparently synchronized in the app, but in the app only after you open the route the second time different the message, at less than 1000 and comes at more than 1000 also only at the second opening of the route again?

[Hubert Thoring]

@Corjan-Meijerink ; The suggestion regarding POIs is now very helpful; I think 2000 is a good number. I also think many users aren't aware of the performance loss for the app when the number is too high.

This is a wonderful solution in the new update V5.0.1-433 !!

@Corjan-Meijerink
Excuse me for calling this up again, please include this as a small hint that is not in such a hurry.

I have noticed that the message s. Image only disappears the second time after calling the same route, if there are really fewer POIs in the file.

Conversely, the same applies if the file has more than 2000 POIs...

I have tested it back and forth in turn and it can be repeated.

That certainly has something to do with synchronizing ...
