In the TYP file, you can define default names for POIs that lack a
name.
And that's the only use of it.
Does it only affect the map display (when you move the cursor over the icon)
yes and no, the replacement name is shown also as name if you enter the
POI (and may be also saved if you save the POI as Waypoint. I have not
tested it.)( In addtion to it during opening a single POI by pressing
ENTER this name will also be displayed for some seconds in the status
bar. Thats almosts(for some types not) the case even the POI has already
a name)
, or does it also control whatis displayed in the POI menu?
No.
I have had a look into a map (openmtbmap de), and as far as i can see,
only non-standard poi-types creates these multiple "other" categories.
With non-standard i don't mean these extended-type(or 3-Byte types).
Non-standard means types which are e.g. not part of the standard-typeset
of GPSmapedit or cgpsmapper.
e.g for shopping it is:
0x2E01 Department Store
0x2E02 Grocery
0x2E03 General Merchandiser
0x2E04 Shopping Center
0x2E05 Pharmacy
0x2E06 Convenience
0x2E07 Apparel
0x2E08 House and Garden
0x2E09 Home Furnishing
0x2E0a Special Retail
0x2E0b Computer/Software
Types like 0x2e1f creates one "other" entry in the categories submenu.
The replacement text "sporting goods" from the type-file will only be
shown for seconds in the status bar if you press enter for opening the POI.
I have to mention, that i only have a 60csx to look at it so it may be
different on other gps like oregon etc.
