Catagorize POI Pushpin Sets

Oh my! Larry and Goodwin have created a monster! I've been using Streets & Trips since 2003, but have always relied on the canned "nearby places" function. Now, I have been introduced to the POI pushpin set management in S&T 2010, and have been pointed the way to the POI Mega File, POI-factory and other online POI repositories. Oh my! I'm hooked!

The trouble is, my list of POI pushpin sets is growing by the minute. What would be really nice would be the ability create folders to sort pushpin sets into (e.g. fuel, stores, attractions, camping, etc.) so that I don't have to wade through this loooooong and ever-growing list of sets. Instead, I could show (or hide) the category I'm interested in.

If this has been suggested before, consider this my "I second the motion."

Regards, Chris

Re: Catagorize POI Pushpin Sets

Chris, in past versions, without the new Hide/Show pushpin management features added in version 2010, I suspect not too many of us were into using pushpins too much. Now that Streets & Trips 2010 is here, I think users will start asking for the feature you are suggesting. You are the first one, but I'm sure not the last one.

Re: Catagorize POI Pushpin Sets

Great suggestion Chris. I've got so many collections loaded into a single file that it can sometimes take some time to find a specific pushpin set to show. These are brand new concerns that never used to exist.
