I found all 70 are on the map but the last two are not viewable in the objects and items dialog. I tried it on another system I have running and got the same result. If I put a space in front of the object names and restart, they go to the top of the list but two get pushed out of view. Number 69 has the edge of a button accessible but that is it. Since they are all on the map, I am happy.
In case someone looks through the mail list archive, here is what I am doing. I have an event that I am going to be dispatching ARES volunteers to specific locations. After some coordinate conversion to fit the APRS spec and the concatenate feature in Excel I came up with 70 objects. That was put into object.log and copied over to my config directory. Some of my objects were originally missing due to not having enough characters (including spaces) or to many for the name in addition to using the underscore which is not usable. A few other objects were missing the 2 numbers to the right of decimal on the lat or long. My objects use a 10 mile proximity circle so I can send volunteers to assignments that are with in the range I promised to keep. Makes for a busy map but it gets me exactly what I want.
