Thank you for the more detailed information about the difference between selecting a single POI and all POIs that the search found.
>From a user perspective IMHO, turning off something I found by searching for it IS part of search. I realize it is not considered that by developers. Configuring the map is something this user feels is a rare event ... configure the map to get it show the things I want in the way I want. When I am happy about the configuration, I would rarely go back to configuring the map. Searching for a POI (or set of them) is something I would want to do on an ad hoc basis. For example on a bike ride when the rain is about to come down, I might search for shelters. Once in a shelter and dry, I would want to turn off that search, easily. Thanks for your time. Not sure if others agree with my user perspective. Bob On Tue, Sep 14, 2021 at 8:40 AM Peter Elderson <[email protected]> wrote: > If you search you choose a type of POI, then you get a list.
