Why so many files for POI's?

Why so many files for POI's?

Why do we need the speed camera files to be broken down by speed zone? It takes forever to load the individual .csv, bmp and mp3 files, especially as for a trip to Belgium I need to download the indivial files for three countries.
Why isn't there a single .csv file for all UK, France, Belgium etc and associated BMP and MP3 files for each? Or am I missing something?

Yep - I have to agree - don't mind there being individual files - it would be good for a new starter to be able to get the whole category in one hit.

I also agree that there should perhaps be a file to download all the poi's in one for those that want all areas

To put an end to this topic, our regional POI moderators and managers prefer to maintain smaller POI files. They frequently log in and perform all neded maintenance work in our official POI Directory ( http://poi.gps-data-team.com/ ).

Feel free to create any large POI file in your Custom POI zone ( http://custom.gps-data-team.com/ or http://private.gps-data-team.com/ ) if you want to keep it updated and to manage it.

You may just want to download the slower zones

Downloading SPeed Zones for 20kph,or 30kph might benefit you more than say 60kph. The zones which monitor the lowest- are more strict than that of higher speeds (limits)

idea?

still ahve the broken down per speed zone
then have one whole one without speed info but one thast just beeps at default value to attract your attention.
Up to the drive to check his/her speed
just a thought :D
